Telford Shopping Centre to sponsor T-Live

The shopping centre is sponsoring the two-day event which kicks off on August 29, featuring artists such as Rick Astley, Union J and ABC.

Centre director Chris Jones said: "This is an exciting time for Telford with the regeneration of the shopping centre and the imminent opening of the new Southwater development."

He added: "We are proud to be sponsoring the T-Live concert for the second year. It's a family friendly festival that is helping to put Telford firmly on the map as a new leisure destination."

Concert-goers who book in advance will be able to get parking for two nights in any of the centre's car parks for just £5, available nearer the time.

Councillor Shaun Davies, Telford & Wrekin Council's cabinet spokesman for T-Live, said that they are delighted the centre will be the headline sponsor.

"Working in partnership with locally-based businesses is key to making events like T-Live a success and putting Telford on the map as a cultural and leisure destination," he said. "We look forward to welcoming more sponsors on board over the coming weeks."
