Well known local Sculptor, 'Stone face', will be on hand to create a bespoke work of art, and is promising to take his inspiration from customers wandering past!. Currently the sixth largest mall in the UK, the centre was built on the site of a former steelworks. Constructed by Bovis, the most recognisable feature is of course the famous 'dome' (construction pictured above). Now occupying 1,260,000 sq ft it’s home to 280 stores, 30 restaurants and an 11 screen cinema. He said there's also a lot to look forward to in the coming year, "Meadowhall's 20th year promises to be the biggest and best yet with some ground-breaking events coming to the Centre. October will see the launch of Meadowhall's very first fashion month, as the Centre will see an influx of the biggest names in the fashion world as we aim to really put Yorkshire on the fashion map!". Events will be happening all day on Saturday 4th September, from 10am.
