Arndale Centre
Just walking through the Arndale on my way to work this morning when alarms starting ringing & they announced over the tannoy that all shoppers & staff had to evacuate the centre - outside shutters were coming down and I thought I might have to do an Indiana Jones out o'there. Anyone heard what was going on?

Ha ha - but yes actually I do have a good number but this happened at about 9.15 this morning not just before I posted, I then went to the two banks I had to (for work purposes ) and the shutters were still down at about 9.45 when I was heading back to work.

Re: Arndale Centre
What about the shops on the outsides? Are they still open? Is the car park still open?

No need to panic.

It was just a routine fire alarm practise.

My mum and kids got evacuated from the Arndale this morning about 9.30-10am ish.
