Burgess Hill shops reopen – in pictures

Shops in Burgess Hill have reopened to customers today (June 15), following government guidance that non-essential retailers can welcome customers again.

Peacocks, New Look and Shoe Zone were among retailers to open their doors for the first time in three months. But one store proved popular today, The Fabric Shop in Church Walk. A queue of shoppers standing two metres apart were seen outside the store. Nadine King, centre manager of The Martlets Shopping Centre said the town was ‘looking lively’ on the first day. Sam Mansell, manager of the Market Place Shopping Centre, thanked shoppers for their continued support over recent months, adding: “We look forward to welcoming them back into the centre once again. We continue to follow protocol and regulations to the current situation, and the health and wellbeing of both our visitors and staff is of paramount importance to us.” A full list of the stores that are open for business in the shopping centre can be found at www.marketplaceshopping.com/covid-19.
