Thousands descend on Princesshay’s Student Lock In

Princesshay Shopping Centre welcomed thousands of new and returning students to its annual ‘Student Lock In’ event on Wednesday 2 October. Over 3,600 students descended on the Student Lock In between 6.30pm – 9pm, with 30 retailers and restaurants offering discounts of up to 25% to students.

Nichola Mann, schuh store manager said: “The Student Lock In is a fantastic event; it’s one of the highlights of our retail year at schuh. The discounts offered throughout the event ensure footfall remains high and raises the awareness of the store while also encouraging students to come back time and time again.”

Despite the heavy rain the atmosphere remained upbeat and positive. Students shopped until they dropped, taking advantage of the exclusive event discounts.

Wayne Pearce, Princesshay Centre Director said: “Our student event is a great way to welcome new students to Exeter and show them what we have to offer at Princesshay.”
