THE first anniversary of the official opening of the Feethams leisure development will be marked with a fortnight of celebrations and competitions at the multi-million pound site.

The complex formally opened on June 25, 2016, which includes a multiplex cinema, restaurants, a café, pub and hotel.

As part of its “birthday bonanza” celebrations, 365 prizes will be offered in competitions to mark the development’s first 365 days of trading.

Simon Hawkins, development director at Urban and Civic, said: “A year has passed since our doors first opened and what an incredible 12 months it has been.

“The arrival of Feethams has brought new energy to the town and the competitions are our way of saying thank you to Darlington for welcoming us with open arms.”

Competitions will run throughout this week until Sunday, June 18, before a photo campaign is launched from Monday, June 19, until Sunday, June 25.
