Mystery as Birmingham shopping centre suddenly shuts with ALL staff sent ‘vague’ letter ordering them to leave

Published on March 26, 2025 at 06:42 PM

A UK shopping centre has shut up shop temporarily while officials carry out “health and safety checks”.

The Square Shopping Centre in Birmingham's Priory Square shuttered late on Tuesday night and remains closed to the public.

Punters shopping in stores such as B&M, British Heart Foundation and Subway were told to head for the exit immediately.

It is unknown when the shopping centre will reopen.

“We were told [by the centre's management team] that we needed to be out by 7pm,” Matthew Eason, the landlord of The Grey Lantern pub, told BirminghamLive.

“They handed us a letter at 5.30pm which didn't leave us much time.

“The letter is very vague. It says we need to book a slot to get back in which suggests it won't be reopening any time soon.”

Mr Eason said the pub's manager was “accosted” by a security dog handlers when trying to enter the building this morning.

A sign on the shopping centre says: “Priory Square is currently closed. All units are shut until further notice and updates will be provided in due course.

“We appreciate the disruption the closure will cause but health and safety remains our priority.”
