The Pavilions Shopping Centre, Uxbridge, is gearing up for the best Black Friday to date by offering free parking all day.

Combined with a host of price cuts and offers across the shops and stores, it’s expected to lead to a double digit increase in footfall on one of the busiest shopping days of the year.

Signalling the beginning of the festive spending period, Black Friday is the day after US holiday Thanksgiving and has exploded in popularity in the UK in recent years.

This year it falls on 25 November and to help get the people of Uxbridge into the Christmas shopping spirit, The Pavilions will have free parking from 6.30am to 8pm on the day alongside a whole host of offers.

Centre Manager, Aaron Bayliss, said everyone at the centre was looking forward to the shopping extravaganza.

“Black Friday has become a really important date in our diary. As its popularity has grown, so has the buzz in the centre in the lead-up to the day,” said Mr Bayliss.

“Offering free parking to our shoppers will save them even more money as they take advantage of the great offers across The Pavilions, Uxbridge, many of which are so exciting that they will not even be revealed until the day.”

Some of the special offers at the centre include 25 per cent off on a range of Paul Mitchell products from Salon Express, up to 50 per cent off from Bonmarché, plus 20 per cent off all frames from Optical Warehouse.
