Westfield Hosts Spectacular Tenth Birthday Celebration


With performances from Rita Ora, Liam Payne and Rudimental plus fireworks display

Hundred of local people crammed into the specially built marquee in Westfield Square on Wood Lane for the shopping centre's tenth birthday celebration.

They were treated to a star studded show, hosted by James Corden with live performances from Rita Ora, Liam Payne and Rudimental - exactly ten years since the centre first opened on 30 October 2008, in the process changing the future of Shepherd's Bush.

The party ended with a spectacular fireworks display which lit up skies across White City.

The tenth anniversary celebrations continue for the next five days with a host of special offers, discounts and giveaways across the centre, You can see a full list here.

Seasonal events also kick off with The Freakin' Fairground Hallowe'en Party, taking place today, 31 October at mini golf centre Puttshack and followed by the premiere of the new Disney film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms at the Westfield Vue Cinema on 1 November.

Then during the run-up to Christmas and New Year, festivities will include a pop-up bar in Westfield Square, and Santa's Snowflake Grotto which opens on November 22, with booking now open.

The celebrations will end a momentous year for the centre, which has seen it changing hands after being sold by the Australian Westfield Group to French property giant Unibail-Rodamco.

It also opened its new expansion on 20 March, with the first of an ever growing list of new stores, restaurants and other facilities, including the John Lewis 'anchor' store, Ichiba Japanese food hall, FirstLight cycling studio and All Star Lanes bowling venue.
