Corrie star visits Rochdale

A young fan meets Ms Marsh in the library

Kym Marsh met the crowds in Rochdale on Saturday (24 July 2010) during a guest appearance in the Wheatsheaf Shopping Centre as part of the run up to this summers Feel Good Festival.

The popular actress and singer visited the Wheatsheaf Library for a special question and answer session with thirty children from Matthew Moss High School and Redwood School.

The children had been invited to meet Ms Marsh as a ‘thank you’ for providing their ideas on how libraries could be improved. They got the chance to quiz the actress about her character on Coronation Street, her upcoming wedding, gruelling filming schedule and life as a pop star.

She then officially launched the library’s new DVD loan service.

Next she appeared on stage at the ‘Feel Good Fashion Show’ also taking place in the shopping centre. After greeting an appreciative crowd she presented a cheque to MedEquip4Kids, after the shopping centre raised over £1600 for the charity by undertaking a sponsored hike.

She posed for photographs, chatted to fans and signed autographs during the event.

Rochdale’s fashion stores showed their sparkling summer and autumn ranges in front of an enthusiastic audience. Models from town centre fashion retailers posed on the catwalk during the lively show, wearing eye catching numbers from 25 Ten Boutique, New Look, Solo, Chantilly, Denis Hope and Peacocks. Staff from TG Hughes demonstrated the latest make-ups ranges.
