**Why it matters:** Shoppers, tenants and staff at the centre are facing a second day of disruption, with no reopening time yet confirmed.

**The details:** The centre has confirmed it remains closed today, Wednesday, 23 September, following Tuesday's tempered glass panel failure in the north mall.

Despite the closure, several stores and facilities remain accessible:

- Car park
- Car wash
- Wagamama
- TKMaxx (via the Queen Street entrance)
- Twist 'n' Shout
- Watts Cafe

**What's next:** The centre has asked shoppers to keep an eye on social media for further updates.

**For context:** This is the second closure at the Buttermarket in under a month. The centre shut on Friday, 28 August 2026, after a burst water main, before reopening on Thursday, 3 September 2026.

**The bottom line:** With the Buttermarket into its second day of closure, shoppers can still reach a handful of shops and facilities, though the wider centre remains shut for now.
