Are you ready for the 6 Nations tournament? Cornish Pasty Week? The Holi Festival?
Awareness days, weeks, and themed months offer valuable opportunities to strengthen customer engagement and support your year‑round marketing strategy. Planning ahead allows you to align your activities with events that matter to your community and create memorable, relevant experiences. For example:
Six Nations Tournament: Create match‑day promotions, family‑friendly screenings, or partnerships with nearby pubs and cafés.
Spring Half‑Term: Plan child‑friendly workshops, treasure hunts, or creative activities to increase footfall.
Lunar New Year: Host themed décor, special menus, or invite a traditional “dragon” performer to attract families and celebrate cultural diversity.
Cornish Pasty Week: Collaborate with local bakeries or run limited‑edition menu items.
St David’s Day / St Patrick’s Day: Spotlight local heritage through themed deals, music, or food partnerships.
Holi Festival: Promote vibrant colour‑themed offers or outdoor activities tied to the festival’s themes of renewal and joy.
A wide range of cultural, social, historical, and health‑related awareness days occur each year. We have compiled a short selection to help you plan ahead. You can access our full year‑round listing on theBusiness Hub.
