Black Friday is upon us!

Black Friday is the biggest date in a bargain hunter’s calendar with thousands of discounts and deals to be had.

Festival Place will once again be joining in the money saving fun, hosting their own Black Friday event on Friday, 27thNovember.  

Participating retailers confirmed so far include Zara, Game, HMV, Smiggle, Hotel Chocolat, Build-a-Bear, Goldsmiths, Paperchase, Schuh and Pizza Express to name but a few.

Originating in America, Black Friday is traditionally the day after Thanksgiving when retailers hold massive sales that consumers go crazy for. 

Often seen as the beginning of the Christmas season, the day is called Black Friday as it’s usually the time when the retailers come out of the red and back into the black.

The Black Friday event comes as part of a series of activities organised by the centre to spread Christmas cheer this festive season, including changing their name from Festival Place to ‘Festive Place’.

To allow plenty of time to find the best bargains, Festive Place will be extending their opening times from 8am through to 9pm.  

However, these sales are not just on Friday – many retailers will be putting on deals over the whole weekend, until Sunday 29th November. 

The Festive Place team will also be working hard to make sure the Christmas shopping experience is as easy and stress-free for customers as possible – with their special Festive Place ‘Festive Services’ pop-up shop.   

Whether a customer is looking for the best gifts to buy, need their gifts wrapped or help with their shopping bags, Festive Place’s dedicated staff will be on hand to assist.  

Parking won’t be a problem either this Christmas as Festive Place has over 2,500 car parking spaces.  

Customers can park for just £1 if they park after 5pm all the way through to 6am.
