We are far from the days of the Ideal Home Exhibition which was historically held in Waverley Market. Now we have a shopping development which is so old it is having a relaunch and a new name!
The old Princes Mall is now known as Waverley Mall. It has had £4 million spent on it and following the refurbishment it has many new shop. There is a grand reopening on Saturday 26 March when there will be entertainment on offer with many on the spot prizes.
If you are an avid X Factor viewer you may remember Che Chesterman who will be the main act on Saturday performing 5 songs. Che will be supported by Indigo Velvet and all will meet and greet their fans after the performances. To enter the meet and greet competition shoppers need to like Waverley Mall on Facebook and enter the competition there before 24 March.

The Glasgow Philharmonia Orchestra is a leading youth orchestra which has performed at many prestigious events since 2012.
They are now coming back to Edinburgh with a great programme.
They will play Strauss, Bruch and Tchaikovsky at Greyfriars Kirk in a light hearted fashion meant to bring their audience to their feet.
They played Broadway Hits at a sell-out concert recently, collaborating with West End stars.
Conductor and Founder of Glasgow Philharmonia and 2015 Arts Young Scot of the Year, Ross Gunning said: “Spreading our wings to Edinburgh with the Orchestra has been the ambition from the start and after the success of last year we return to the amazing venue of Greyfriars Kirk.
“Armed with challenging but easy listening repertoire, we’re completely prepared to tackle the Edinburgh Classical Music scene again in 2016. To perform in front of a live audience is the most wonderful experience our playerscould wish for and for the audience witnessing some of the most talented young performers in Scotland “
