Trinity Walk's footfall at four year high after 10 lettings including Sports Direct, Warren James and Bob & Berts

Wakefield’s Trinity Walk is back to pre-pandemic footfall levels after welcoming nearly 10 million visits in 2023.

The centre secured 10 new lettings last year including Sports Direct, Warren James, Bob & Berts, NHS Breast Screening, Shoezone, Sanctuary Health & Beauty, Boyle Sports, Marie Curie, Community Foundation for Wakefield’s GIVEBOX and multi-agency City Hub.

Bucking the national trend, it has seen footfall at Trinity Walk reach an annual four year high – with the last six months of 2023 beating 2019 figures.

The new openings combined with some major events, like the centre’s popular Star Walk movie stars and cars cosplay experience and free Santa’s grotto, have been key drivers in Trinity Walk’s growth to around 9.88 million annual visits in 2023.

Trinity Walk is managed by Savills on behalf of Orion, who appointed a new centre manager, Lynette Howgate, in January 2023.

Lynette said: “Trinity Walk has always bucked the trend. It’s never been a harder time to do that with inflation and a cost of living crisis, but thanks to the site team and Savills we’ve secured and helped launch a diverse range of brilliant new additions."
