SpaceandPeople have a range of premium venues throughout the UK with opportunities for Rock Up and Pop Up retailers
Since the launch of our innovative Rock Up and Pop Up retail service in 2022, we have worked with a range of premium venues throughout the UK to introduce exciting new brands to their retail offer. The Rock Up and Pop Up service is the easy way for small, medium and large brands to begin retailing mid-mall at some of the UK’s top venues. We assist our Rock Up and Pop Up retailers on all aspects of their pop-up launch including branding, installation, merchandising and optional staffing arrangements.
