Shaping Tomorrow’s Places – Merry Hill Tour

Merry Hill is delighted to welcome the Revo community! In 2024, Merry Hill was awarded the Revo Gold for ‘Best Repurposing & Placemaking Project’, highlighting its role within the West Midlands and position as a top super regional centre, and how it has adapted to current and future consumer behaviour and engagement with malls.

The day will begin with a presentation from the centre team, showcasing the change that Merry Hill has undergone in the last few years, before guests will be taken on guided tours of both Harvey Norman and XF Gym, two concepts that launched national debuts at Merry Hill.

Visitors will then be offered the chance to split into smaller groups and be shown around the rest of the centre with a dedicated guide, focusing on an element of shopping centre management and evolution of most interest to them. The day will finish in the newly created leisure quarter – for which Merry Hill won the Revo Gold award – with a short presentation followed by networking drinks, bowling, and the opportunity to win a £250 voucher.

Limited spaces are available, so secure your spot early to ensure you don’t miss out! For those who need it, travel will be provided to and from Birmingham New Street station on the day. Please contact danielbleach@averpr.com to confirm your travel arrangements.
