Destination Bicester (Town Centre Grand Opening 10th July 2013 )

The day has finally arrived! Bicester town centre development opens its doors to the public. Gone are the developers and the fences. Sainsbury's is open, VUE cinema is open plus a town centre face lift - with new shops and services on its way.

A relaxed atmosphere to the proceedings as the crowd swayed from the official openings (two speeches, a plaque unveiling, Sainsbury opened its doors and some hand pressing). Joined by the stars of the morning the Bicester Pioneer Regiment, local press, some street performers and local councillors the crowds soon realised that it was time for some shopping!
