What's On

WE ARE thrilled to announce that we have been shortlisted for two prestigious awards, recognising our heart of the community ethos.

Celebrating excellence across British retail destinations, we have been nominated for both ‘Christmas Campaign of the Year’ and ‘Diversity & Inclusion Scheme of the Year’ at the esteemed SCEPTRE Awards.

Our community-driven initiatives have placed us alongside some of the UK’s largest and leading shopping centres.

Our ‘Design Our Lights’ campaign, which has earned a nomination for ‘Christmas Campaign of the Year,’ saw the transformation of children’s artwork into stunning Christmas decorations displayed throughout the mall.

With over 1,000 entries from local schools and community groups, ten winning designs—including everything from dinosaurs to candy canes—were brought to life as impressive 5ft lights, bringing a vibrant and festive atmosphere to Wellington Square that shoppers adored.

We are equally proud of our efforts toward inclusivity, which have secured our place as finalists for ‘Diversity & Inclusion Scheme of the Year.’

From implementing a talking toilet and colostomy shelf to providing BSL training and achieving dementia-friendly status, we continue to strive for an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Chantal Taylor, Marketing Manager at Wellington Square, shared her excitement: “The SCEPTRE Awards represent the pinnacle of achievement in retail, and to be shortlisted at this stage is a tremendous honour. It’s a reflection of our ongoing dedication to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment that fosters joy and connection within our community.

“This recognition is a testament to the passion and hard work of our entire team, who make Wellington Square a place where everyone can feel valued,” Chantal added.

Wellington Square is no stranger to success at the SCEPTRE Awards, having previously won ‘Community Initiative of the Year’ for Stockton Stories and ‘Marketing Manager of the Year,’

We eagerly await the results at next month’s glittering awards dinner in London, where we hope to bring home more awards!
