About the Event
Friends of Camden Passage: Christmas 2024 is the inaugural event organised by the Ezen Foundation to celebrate the unique charm of Camden Passage. This initiative is designed to bring together our community, attract footfall, and highlight the incredible businesses that make Camden Passage such a special destination. With live entertainment, cultural showcases, and community spirit at its heart, this event aims to establish Camden Passage as a must-visit location during the holiday season, with the potential to become an annual tradition.

How Businesses Can Support
To make this event a success, we need the support and involvement of our local businesses. Below are the ways you can contribute:
-
Promotional Offers: We encourage businesses to come up with a promotional offer that we can feature on a special directory page we are creating for the event. This is an excellent way to attract customers and showcase what your business has to offer.
-
Professional Photos: On the day of the event, we will have live models walking around the passage as well as professional photographers. If you’d like professional photos of your shopfront or business, please contact me. Our aim is to bring as much value for our passage and each individual business from the event. These photos will be an opportunity to have professional photos taken which would be valuable for your own promotional use. Photos and videos from the event will be shared after the event with everyone.
-
Raffle Prizes: We are seeking raffle prize contributions from local businesses. This is a wonderful way to draw attention to your offerings and support the community event.
-
Newsletter Mailshots: A newsletter template has been created for businesses to use (reword and edit to suit your branding). Several businesses have already confirmed they will send mailshots to their client lists. If we all promote the event together, we can maximise its impact and ensure its success.
-
Staff Volunteers: If you or your staff members can volunteer time to assist with preparations or on the day itself, your help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact us if any support can be given.
- Poster to promote: If any business is happy to display a poster (A3 size) please let us know.
What to Expect
The event will feature support and entertainment from local theatres, charities, and schools, providing a full day of exciting performances and activities for the public. There will be a DJ and speakers around the areas from No.27 Trampoline, through up to No.15 Loop. Music levels can be controlled so please let us know if there are any concerns on the day.
To bring entertainment for areas where we have no speakers, we plan to have short performances periodically through the afternoon as we aim to entertain the full stretch of the passage.
When there usually is a drop in footfall, from 5pm we will have a fashion parade (courtesy of Camden Head who have kindly given their space to support the event). The models will parade from Camden Head along the full stretch of the passage. This will be spectacle that visitors can enjoy and hopefully bring visitors to shop and use the services along the passage for longer.
The event will be to offer a unique opportunity to showcase the spirit of Camden Passage and draw attention to the vibrant businesses and culture in our community.
