Rowsley's Peak Village shopping outlet has received a rousing
response to its call for retailers to use the outlet's spare units
to sell their wares. These temporary traders are now awaiting the
influx of shoppers due at Peak Village in the run up to the peak
shopping season of the year.
Following the appeal by Peak Village seeking local talent to
come along and offer their arts, crafts, antiques and collectables
for sale to the public, many have taken up the challenge and will
be taking their place alongside Peak Village's regular retailers
every Saturday until 17 December.
"We are delighted so many people have taken up our offer to come
and join us to sell their products at Peak Village," said Terrence
Morgan of Peak Village. "It's a positive move to make our offering
even better for everyone to enjoy. Like most shopping centres, we
have vacant units from time to time and this seemed the prefect way
to make maximum use of our space for shoppers and traders alike to
benefit from at Christmas. By giving our customers more choice than
ever at this time of year and by giving something back to local
craftspeople, it's a win-win situation for all of us and we wish
our new Christmas time traders every success in this new
venture."
Christmas is the perfect time to allow local arts, crafts and
textiles traders the chance to reach a wider audience in Peak
Village and take advantage of this opportunity to show consumers
what they have to offer in the fast moving world that is Christmas
shopping at Peak Village.
Peak Village is home to nearly 20 retailers including national
names like Cotton Traders, Leading Labels, Ponden Mill, The Cook
Shop and Mountain Warehouse. The outlet shopping centre attracts
750,000 visitors a year and offers visitors the opportunity to
combine shopping with other local attractions and now is perfect
time to bag a festive bargain.
The markets have been so well received this year that Peak
Village is looking to continue with the project throughout the New
Year. Anyone who might be interested is being asked to register
their interest now for 2012.
