The Golden Ticket campaign, organised by Northampton Town Centre Business Improvement District (BID) will encourage people to ‘shop local’ this Christmas and support Northampton businesses, with the added incentive of a prize to spend in town centre shops and businesses of their choice.
BID Operations Manager Mark Mullen said: “We’re all looking forward to spreading a bit of festive cheer this Christmas and our Golden Ticket giveaway is the perfect way to put smiles on the faces of four lucky families.
“The competition is a key component of our Christmas campaign and we can’t wait to see thousands of people enjoying a host of activities in our town centre.”
No festive season is complete without a visit to Father Christmas and families will be able to visit the new and improved Santa’s Grotto in Grosvenor Shopping Northampton on Saturday, November 23 and then from 10.30am to 4pm every Saturday and Sunday in December prior to Christmas, as well as Monday, 23 December.
The launch of the grotto, which will cost £1 per family with proceeds going to charity, will coincide with the lights switch-on in the revitalised Market Square, with the the town centre celebrating the first Christmas in the popular new events space.
A 24-hour Christmas radio station dedicated to Northampton will be hitting the airwaves this December. Operated by NLive Radio, and sponsored by the BID, the station will be playing back-to-back Christmas songs, with businesses able to provide sound clips to be played as adverts.
Small Business Saturday on Saturday, December 7 will see a national campaign to promote independently owned businesses and encourage shoppers to buy local this Christmas.
