The Trafford Centre has launched the “Insect Inn” – a brand-new eco-friendly habitat designed to support biodiversity and local wildlife, as part of their wider sustainability efforts.

Home to over 10,000 insects including bees, butterflies and ladybirds, the Insect Inn is 4.5m long and 1m tall, and built from regenerative timber.

Simon Layton Centre Director, says: “We’re buzzing about this initiative, which not only enhances our landscaping but also raises awareness of the small steps we can all take to protect our ecosystem.”

The Trafford Centre was awarded “Best Sustainable Initiative by a Property Player” at MAPIC in 2024.
