Norwich’s leading social, leisure and lifestyle destination – has further strengthened its occupier roster with the arrival of bedroom furnishing specialist Julian Charles.
The retailer has signed a new five-year lease for the 1,800sq ft unit 44 at the city centre scheme. Founded in 1947, Julian Charles is a leading supplier of bedding, read-made curtains, luxury cushions, cosy throws and décor accessories from over 70 outlets across the UK.
The new arrival further diversifies the offer at Castle Quarter, which has retained its traditional retail strength while embracing new leisure, entertainment, dining and community operators. The pivot towards social, leisure and lifestyle has brought more people to the destination, with notable additions including Boom Battle Bar, Putt Putt Noodle and Escape Hunt, with the ‘market hall’ style Castle Social showcasing new street food concepts.
Will Ashdown, Asset Manager at RivingtonHark, said: “Julian Charles is a fantastic addition to the line-up at Castle Quarter, further strengthening the offer and giving people even more reason to visit the destination. The recent record performance of the scheme highlights the success of our strategy of focusing entirely on providing the retailers, operators and options that people want in a city centre location such as Castle Quarter.”
