A Little Luxury For Me

So Much More at the Kingfisher Shopping Centre, Redditch

October 6, 2017 by Erica Hughes 8 Comments

Last weekend we were invited along to the Kingfisher Shopping Centre for an experience day. Now I’d never been to the centre, although it’s actually very easy to get to.  We went by car and it was a very easy drive with lots of choice for car parks (if anything I was spoilt for choice and wasn’t sure which would be the best one for me). A friend said they liked to visit by train, which is easy too as Redditch is on the cross-city line that runs through Birmingham.

Still I’m getting ahead of myself, we weren’t really there with shopping in mind, although it did form a part of our day, we were there to have some fun.

First off we went to Perfect Nails and Brows.  It was very busy and there were clearly lots of regular clients.  The service was friendly and efficient, plus the staff are skilled at their jobs. I had my nails done with a gel polish and I was very happy with the results.  In fact, today almost a week later I am still very happy with the results as the finish is still near perfect.  I’ve already recommended it to a friend who goes to Redditch regularly.

Next up we went to Nando’s for lunch. Nando’s was very popular, but everyone who turned up at the door was quickly found a spot.  We were looked after by friendly staff and had a enjoyable meal which set us up for the day.

After a leisurely meal we strolled over to the Vue Cinema to see a film.  I’d taken a very patient 10-year-old along with me when I had my nails done, so it seemed only fair he should choose the film: Despicable Me 3.

I loved the fact that we found so much to do at the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.  I’d not thought of having a day out there before, but I’d certainly consider it again.  There are plenty of eating places in The Hub and the cinema too, plus there’s even a play centre for the kids.

    Well your nails look amazing! It sounds like a good place to brave shopping with the kids – always good when there’s stuff you both like.

    Oh I do like your nails! The Kingfisher isn’t that far from me, but I haven’t been for a while. Time for a revisit I think.

    I like the idea of having so many different entertainment options under one roof and shopping too.

    Love the colour of your nails! And you definitely can’t beat a Nandos before the cinema…!
