Festive Shopping Event

  • 5th December 2025
  • 6-9pm
  • Hello! Lift is planning to open late on Friday 5th December for a
    Festive Shopping Evening. We’d love to make this a Southwold-wide
    event. Here’s what we are doing and how you can get involved too.

    We will be closing as normal around 5pm for a break and then reopening
    at 6pm with some goody Bags, drinks and maybe some instore
    mini workshops or maker demonstrations. We’re not planning
    on doing any discounting, but that’s totally up to you and there is no
    requirement to do anything other than be open for visitors.
    The aim would be great to make it an annual shopping event to
    encourage people into the town shops and eateries. It’s a week after
    The official Southwold Light Switch on so the town will be feeling
    festive, and a week after Black Friday and Cyber Monday so
    hopefully people will be in shopping mode and looking for gifts.
    If you’re able to open late that day, please drop me a message on
    07898772242 (or pop into Lift) and I can list you on the flyer and
    poster I’ll be making. I can also send you some templates you can
    use on social media platforms so we can promote the event
    ourselves.
    Thank you! David at Lift
