Happy International Women’s Day 💕
Over the weekend, to celebrate IWD, our account manager Claudia Lambert spoke with the @stchristophersplace community – from shoppers and visitors to customers – asking what this day means to them. The responses were thoughtful, inspiring and a reflection of the incredible women in our community.
A great example of how we help our clients bring moments like this to life through on the ground activations and content.
Here’s to the women we admire, support and celebrate every day.

This Valentine’s, Activate delivered feel good moments across our schemes. ❤️
From heart mascots roaming @onestopperrybarr and @regentcourt with roses, chocolates and photo opportunities, to a beautifully styled rose cart at @islingtonsq, each destination brought its own take on the day.
At @stchristophersplace, single red roses were gifted to those joining the Neighbourhood Card, while @templarssquare1 welcomed shoppers and their furry friends for My Fur Ever Love, complete with paw-some portraits.
Thoughtful activations, tailored to each community, and genuinely well received.

Creating meaningful moments that bring workplace communities together. 🌹
To celebrate Valentine’s Day at @moretownldn_, we introduced a pop up flower cart, surprising occupiers with mini bouquets during lunchtime. It was fantastic to see so many people step away from their desks, connect with colleagues, and enjoy a simple moment.
Take a look at some of the highlights from the day.

It was wonderful to see occupiers taking a break from the working day, getting creative and sharing some festive cheer - the smiles in these photos say it all!

The festive season is well underway at @onestopperrybarr 🎅
Each weekend, visitors have been getting into the Christmas spirit with Reindeer Ski School and a host of festive crafts - from decorating baubles and creating reindeer antlers to unleashing their inner artists in painting sessions.
The centre has also been alive with roaming performances, including Anna and Elsa serenading shoppers with live singing (yes, even the grown-ups were singing along!).
And if you’re nearby this Saturday 20th December, don’t miss out - it’s your chance to get a little creative and make some festive cookies. Because let’s be honest, Christmas calories don’t count, right?

Hannah and Claudia were onsite for @croxleypark’s Christmas event - complete with a real reindeer, live music, and a Santa & Elf meet-and-greet (yes, for adults too!). 🎅
The food truck carvery was serving up the perfect festive comfort food, with mulled wine and hot chocolate keeping everyone warm. A local school choir added a seasonal charm, and tenants also came together to support local charities.
Of course, we couldn’t resist the photobooth for a few festive snaps🎄📸
A wonderful way to celebrate the season at Croxley Park.
Last week marked the start of the festive season at @bhambp - and not even the rain could dampen the Christmas spirit. 🎄
120 people joined them for their annual wreath-making workshop, as well as live music, a walk-in snow globe with prizes to be won, and a great selection of food stalls.
A fantastic day all round 🎅
What a festive day at @islingtonsquare on Saturday 15th November! 🎄 Families, friends and even their four-legged visitors came together to enjoy a day full of seasonal fun. 🐾
Visitors enjoyed flavours from @urbanfoodfest Christmas market, from vegan Turkish flatbreads to Lebanese wraps and cinnamon buns, alongside live music, face painting, a dog caricaturist and activities for all ages.
It was great to welcome new tenants to Islington Square - @wagworkslondon, @teegolondon, @swyft_home and @nguyenwahedart added extra magic to the celebrations.
The perfect way to start the Christmas season!

A festive start to the week for some of the team with a trip to the Manchester Christmas Markets. A great way to kick off the working week, fuelled by great company, hot dogs and loaded fries. Ready to bring that seasonal energy back into our projects!
