have been able to help raise valuable funds for Clatterbridge Cancer

its diverse mix of upmarket shopping, and our elegant surroundings
made the perfect backdrop for a high fashion showcase. Most of the
shops and boutiques in the arcade are independent businesses that
are run by local people for local people. Anyone who hasn’t been in

pleasantly surprised when they see what’s new at Wayfarers.”
