Freeport Fleetwood supports Lytham Festival for second year running

Smash hit for shopping, Freeport Fleetwood announces CONTINUED sponsorship deal with Lancashire’s largest live music event

Freeport Fleetwood is joining forces with Lancashire’s fastest growing music festival for a second year running.

The sponsorship deal will see the region’s favourite shopping outlet partner with the increasingly popular Lytham Festival.

Tens of thousands of music fans are expected to flock to Lytham this summer for the week-long Lytham Festival from 1 to 7 August.

The Outlet Centre will benefit from the continued brand association reaching more than 100k people over a week of live concerts as internationally renowned acts including Bryan Adams and Noel Gallagher’s Flying High Birds perform alongside a huge programme of music, comedy and culture. The deal will also include shared marketing and social media support plus Freeport Fleetwood will be the only retailer outside of Lytham to sell tickets to the events.

Centre Manager John Magee said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring Lytham Festival for a second year. The event has gone from strength to strength and offers perfect positioning for Freeport Fleetwood, enabling us a unique opportunity to talk to such a big audience from across the Fylde Coast and further afield.

It’s extremely important to us to support events and businesses that play such an integral part of our local community.  We know that our shoppers are passionate about Lytham Festival as they embraced our joint activity and snapped up the tickets our retailers sold last year.  We’ll be selling tickets again this year in our M&S Outlet, Skopes and Beauty Outlet stores plus we have some tricks up our sleeve this year to offer new opportunities to get involved in music, comedy and culture here in Fleetwood.”

Lytham Festival is presented and organised by music promoters Cuffe and Taylor.

Director Peter Taylor said: “We are delighted Freeport Fleetwood want to come onboard and sponsor Lytham Festival for a second year running.

“The line-up for Lytham Festival 2016 is shaping-up very nicely and we are looking forward to presenting a fantastic week of live music and entertainment.”

Freeport Fleetwood offers a wide choice of fashion, homewares, fragrances, accessories and gift ideas
from designer and high street stores including Moss, Next Clearance, Bench and GAP Outlet. There
is a wealth of locations in which to refuel too – whether it’s a light bite at Costa Coffee or a sandwich or salad from Subway.

Late night shopping is also available every Thursday until 8pm.
