lasgow has hosted its first ever Shopping Festival. Running from 25 to 30 May, the


Glasgow Style Mile Shopping Festival shone a spotlight on the city centre, which has earned a reputation as the best shopping destination in the UK outside of London. Over the five-day event,


Glasgow came alive with a full line-up of activity from styling


sessions and trend tips to make-up masterclasses and new product demonstrations. Many retailers and restaurants offered special discounts and promotions throughout the festival. As part of the celebrations, an


eye-catching Festival Hub was constructed at the botom of Buchanan Street offering an informative and experiential environment. As well as being a place where people could pop in


and find out what was on, the Hub featured a packed programme with takeovers from some of the city’s top retailers. Te Festival Hub was split into


three distinct areas and focused on fashion, beauty and lifestyle/ home with professional stylists, make-up artists and interior designers on hand to offer one-to-one advice. Glasgow city centre offers a unique and diverse shopping


experience with more than 1,500 stores including the Style Mile – the one mile square in the very centre of Glasgow. Te Style Mile features an unrivalled collection of high-street, designer and boutique brands including Buchanan Galleries, St. Enoch Centre, House of Fraser, Princes Square, Argyll Arcade, John Lewis and Debenhams, all of which had a jam packed calendar of activity throughout the festival.
