The Blackburn Gingerbread Christmas Trail
The activities create something special for the town. They give families something to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming to do together and we've seen lots of new faces coming in to the shop as a result. The BID should be proud of itself.
Moss
Manager at Rhode Island
I think the response to the BID's trails has been great! Children have been coming in with their parents to look at the sculpture, taking pictures and looking around the store while they're here.
Natalie
Manager at Blackburn Primark
The events - like the Festival of Making and Pride - bring in a lot of new customers. The sand trail did well for us too. A lot of people stopped to take photos and then come in for a coffee. We have had quite a few people come back after too.
Julie Sheppard
Manager at Mad Hatters Tea Room
“We’ve had lots of interest from families with trail leaflets who have been coming in, and buying things when they come in. They’re going around the trail and they’ve told us about the models at the other locations. They’re really impressed with the sculpture. The kids are loving it!
It’s really good for us. Customers come back again to see what else we’ve got.”
