Sheffield shopping complex welcomed 13m visitors in 2016
Throughout 2016 visitor numbers to the Crystal Peaks mall were up four per cent over the same time period for 2015.
And the increase was in sharp contrast to the national trend, which saw footfall at similar centres down by minus two per cent.

“Obviously we are delighted that so many people choose to visit Crystal Peaks,” said Centre Manager Lee Greenwood.
He added: “We take great pride in offering not only a great shopping experience but also in providing a full programme of activities for all the family to enjoy throughout the year.
“We were particularly pleased in 2016 to be part of the Sheffield Children’s Hospital Herd of Sheffield, which we know brought many visitors to Crystal Peaks throughout the summer.”
