Elizabeth Stanway, CEO and co-founder of Treetop Golf, said: “We can’t wait to bring our immersive mini golf destination to Bristol. We are on a mission to spread wonder and help our guests connect and share special moments through new experiences. It’s great to be working with the Hammerson team again and we’re delighted to be able to support their plans to expand Cabot Circus’ entertainment offering.”
Shelley Taylor, asset manager at Hammerson, said: “We are delighted to welcome Treetop Golf later this year. This signing supports our vision to strengthen the Cabot Circus offering with modern and innovative leisure concepts.”
“Our vision is to transform Cabot Circus from a place where people come just to shop, to a multi-purpose destination that offers a true mix of exciting entertainment, social and lifestyle experiences. This is just the first step in a series of exciting new brands we plan to introduce this year.”
