A golden ticket, prizes, live music & free treats

To kick-start a new chapter and to welcome the centre’s brand refresh, Highcross Leicester is giving shoppers the chance to bag a bundle of gifts and vouchers, along with a free cup of tea.

On Saturday 22 February, lucky shoppers will be in with a chance of getting their hands on a series of vouchers. Handed out to members of the public at random, exclusively between 12pm and 6pm, 9 shoppers will be chosen to receive gift vouchers worth £50 each and a further 19 shoppers will be gifted vouchers worth £20.

Just one extra-special golden ticket winner will take home the top prize - a bundle of gifts from a selection of the centre’s occupiers, including a Jelly Cat bunny from Set, a goody bag and hand massage voucher from Jo Malone and a family ticket to Cinema de Lux. Among other gifts, a luxury chocolate box from Hotel Chocolat and Filbert the Fox plush toy from LCFC fan store will be on offer, in addition to a family voucher from Nando’s and lunch for two at 1573.

For any shoppers missing out on the action on 22 February, one shopper will also have the opportunity to win a £50 gift voucher, and another to win a £20 gift voucher by visiting the Highcross’ website from 9am on Sunday 23 February.

Earlier this month, Highcross announced the appointment of Michelle Menezes as Centre Director, who began by sharing a series of pledges to shoppers. These included welcoming new occupiers, from food and beverage, to fashion and beauty, and introducing guaranteed entertainment and fun experiences for all ages within the centre.

The launch of the golden ticket giveaway is just the first nod to this, as shoppers who sign up to Highcross’ newsletter will also get the chance to ‘have a cuppa on us’, where they can enjoy a complimentary cup of tea.

Located on the lower mall near Luke 1977 and Damaged Society, the ‘cuppa pop-up’ will be an inviting space, designed to feel like a welcoming living room, with quirky vintage furniture and a warm, homely atmosphere, giving visitors a place to relax.

Providing live entertainment for the big occasion, Highcross has also teamed up with local talent from across Leicestershire to bring a selection of music and performances throughout the day starting from 12:30pm on 22 February, throughout the centre.

Commenting on the year ahead, Centre Director at Highcross Leicester, Michelle Menezes, said:

“There are exciting times ahead for Highcross, and 2025 is just the start, with the unveiling of our brand refresh, the continued investment in our offering, and the development of a fun-packed events calendar for shoppers to enjoy.

“Our plans are kick-starting with the launch of our brand refresh on Saturday 22 February, where shoppers can enjoy a cuppa on us at our vintage tearoom, and tap their toes with live performances from Highcross’ ‘Leicester Live Lounge’. Topping the celebrations off, a handful of shoppers will also be in with a chance of winning a selection of fantastic giveaways, with one lucky winner taking home a bundle of goodies from our occupiers.

“So, whether you’re here to shop, win a golden ticket, enjoy live music, or simply to take a moment to unwind with a cuppa, come round to ours, and make yourself at home.”
