Croydon BID and Centrale & Whitgift launch £600 Christmas giveaway to spread festive cheer and support local retailers

This holiday season, Croydon BID, in collaboration with Centrale & Whitgift Shopping Centres, is bringing festive cheer and offering a boost to local retailers with the launch of a £600 Christmas Shopping Giveaway.
The Instagram-based competition will run from 14th November to 28th November and offers one lucky winner the opportunity to walk away with a selection of gift cards from popular retail stores to make their holiday season extra special!

The prize bundle offers something for everyone, from fashion and beauty to toys and books, showcasing the variety of shopping options available in Croydon town centre.

Participants can easily enter by heading to Croydon BID’s Instagram page, @checkoutcroydon [https://www.instagram.com/checkoutcroydon/], where they can follow the simple entry instructions. The exciting prize package includes gift cards from top retailers like Marks & Spencer, Superdrug, Waterstones, H&M, and more.

Christmas is a time of joy and celebration, but it can also be challenging for both shoppers and businesses. Our giveaway is free to enter, with a prize that could ease the financial strain of Christmas shopping for one lucky winner. More than that, the competition allows us here at Croydon BID to work with our business members in highlighting all that Croydon town centre has to offer, encouraging the community to explore and rediscover our town centre. Through this and other festive activities, we hope to boost footfall, spread joy, and make the shopping experience more enjoyable for everyone.
