THE Grays Shopping Centre has been shortlisted for the ‘Events’ category of the British Council of Shopping Centre’s Purple Apple Awards 2016.

The centre won the nomination for their Hallowe’en “Uncle Fester wants a Wife” promotion last October where the management team dressed up as members of the Addams Family.

Shop managers were also invited to dress up in a wedding dress. A staggering 27 managers volunteered – many of them cross-dressing!

Winners will be announced at an awards dinner on Thursday, May 5.
