HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! The team at Cinderella’s is celebrating the boutique’s 25th anniversary with a nomination for a Great Northern Wedding Award 2024! Back in 1999 when the millennium bug was set to cause total chaos with every computer in the land, Mandy started a small business called Stitches. Just over a year later she expanded and Cinderella’s was born in the historical market town of Skipton. In the intervening 25 years, the business has witnessed political crises, recessions and a pandemic; during that time the country has also seen seven prime ministers come and go! The boutique has been based in three different locations all within Skipton town, each providing its own unique character. Mandy married in 2004 and started a family in 2007 with the birth of her daughter and son who both enjoyed playing in the shop every day after school. Fast forward to the present day and you’ll find Cinderella’s located in High Corn Mill just a stone’s throw from the famous Skipton Castle.
