Why are we opening?
We have given retailers & eateries the opportunity to trade on the bank holiday should they wish to do so. For many, the bank holiday/state funeral will be an emotional and historic occasion that thousands of staff and businesses will not want to miss. As such, we respect a retailer or eateries’ decision to close if they wish to pay their respects to Her Majesty The Queen. The Howard Centre is remaining open to support those retailers & eateries who are still trading.
