Successful lights switch on events launch Christmas Shopping Season

20 November 2017

The Christmas shopping period got off to a busy start at Dransfield Properties’ centres this weekend with successful Lights Switch On events attracting record crowds.

Events at Marshall’s Yard in Gainsborough and Fox Valley in north Sheffield were held on Friday November 17th – both exceeding expectations and attracting bigger crowds than in previous years.

A packed line up of entertainment and activities at both centres as well as Christmas markets increased dwell time and both switch on events were accompanied by an impressive fireworks display to mark the start of the Christmas shopping period.

At Sanderson Arcade in Morpeth the Switch On event took place on Saturday November 18th with a packed afternoon of entertainment including North East X Factor star Sam Lavery and another fantastic fireworks display.

The festive lights will be launched at Lime Square on Saturday 25th November and at Market Cross in Selby on December 2nd.

As well as Christmas Lights Switch On events the Dransfield operations team headed by Operations Director Medi Parry-Williams  has also secured the Coca Cola Truck Tour at Sanderson Arcade, Marshall’s Yard and Fox Valley as an additional festive event at all three centres.

Communications Director at Dransfield Properties, Amanda Holmes, said: “Our teams across our centres have staged fantastic Switch On events this year with great entertainment and accompanied by lovely Christmas themed markets.

“It’s been a great start to the Christmas shopping period and we’re delighted as well to have secured the Coca Cola Truck tour at three of our centres for the first year."
