01 — THE BRIEF

An open-air centre
on a national road

DN1 Value Centre is an open-air site stretched along the road to the mountains. People come in, buy and leave. Keeping them there takes reasons along the way, not one moment on a stage. And in winter, outdoors, the cold cuts any static act short anyway.

DN1 Value Centre — Seasonal Activations
What they asked for
Seasons that bring families into an open-air centre, winter included.
What we made
Themed Christmas line-ups, characters on stilts and a Transformers show by the tree.
What they got
A partner from opening day, called back for every season that mattered.
02 — THE SOLUTION

Characters moving
through the whole centre

We built themed seasonal line-ups, mostly for Christmas: Candy Guards on stilts, the red and white soldiers, Santa's Drummers, Gingerbread Men, the Penguin and the Red Bauble. Plus elves on stilts and Mirror Men through the gallery. By the tree, LED costume moments and a Transformers show with Optimus and Bumblebee. The characters moved across the whole site, so the atmosphere reached every corner.

    Candy Guards, Drummers, Gingerbread Men, the Penguin and the Red Bauble, characters covering the whole holiday register, out of a single warehouse.

  • Stilts for a wide site

    In an open-air centre, a character on the ground disappears into the crowd. On stilts, you see them from the car park to the tree.

  • Transformers show by the tree

    Optimus and Bumblebee, costumes built in our own workshop, used as a stage moment and as a walk-around through the gallery in the same afternoon.

  • A partner from day one

    We were there from the 2019 opening and came back for more than 15 events since, at every season that mattered.

03 — THE BUILD

One supplier
for the entire seasonal programme

All the costumes and robots come from our own inventory, and the team worked inside the centre's own schedule. As direct producers, we changed the line-up from one edition to the next with no production lead times, using performers who already knew the route through the gallery.
