SpaceandPeople Works With Venues Across the UK to Place a Range of Festive Markets and Attractions
Each year, we work with retailers and venues to place magical festive attractions throughout the UK. For both venues and retailers, offering Christmas retail activity is a fantastic way to reach new customers during November and December. Visiting Christmas markets has become a festive tradition for many people in the UK and these markets continue to grow in popularity each year. Similarly, attractions such as Christmas rides and Santa’s Grottos, are also a huge draw for people, especially those with children.

Christmas Markets
Christmas markets present a great opportunity for retailers to capitalise on the busy festive period and attract festive shoppers and families. They allow retailers who are new to physical retailing to trial running a pop-up shop or a new venue during a busy period. Retailing new product lines or seasonal gifts has proved to be an effective way to attract new customers and improve brand awareness for many of the retailers we work with.
Christmas Attractions
Retailers offering services and experiences also find success in placing Christmas attractions as the demand for children’s rides, festive photo opportunities etc. is high. For the festive season 2022, Braehead shopping centre in Glasgow hosted multiple Christmas attractions including a Winter Wonderland and Santa’s sleigh ride. These festive experiences were a hit with families visiting the centre and added to the Christmas spirit in the centre.
Hosting festive attractions is also incredibly beneficial to a retail venue. Having a market or event not only attracts out of town visitors, but can also provide the local area with an economic boost. Christmas events can encourage shoppers who live nearby to the venue to visit and encourage repeat business. In 2022, we worked with various venues throughout the UK on their Christmas attractions including Clarks Village, Glasgow Fort and Junction 32 (pictured below).


SpaceandPeople have worked with both retailers and venues to help to create successful Christmas attractions up and down the UK. Our account managers can assist with planning and merchandising to ensure the events run smoothly.
