We encourage people into town with a varied events programme. In 2024 we organised a series of free events in Church Square over the school summer holidays alongside our Summer of Sport digital trail. On Halloween itself we co-ordinated the and the Ghostbusters Trick or Treat trail across the whole town centre. This year, we combined our popular Christmas light switch with the Frosty Films Ice sculpture trail on an unexpectedly warm Saturday in November, resulting in a 20% uplift in footfall. These event days give people a new reason to visit Putney and remind them what a great place it is. They hopefully enjoy their day, discover new businesses and return again.
We also host a stand at Roehampton University Freshers Fair in September. Many of the students are new to the area and we promote Putney as their closest town centre for all their needs in both the daytime and the nightime.
