The Gate indoor complex comprises a mix of hospitality and leisure venues, the sectors hit hardest by Covid19 restrictions. Complying with guidance meant up to 11 months of closure, phased reopening with only some of the units able to reopen, and restricted trading measures lessening the visitor experience. The challenge faced by The Gate was to remain top of mind and on the footfall circuit with the limited offer that was available, and he majority of The Gate remained under restrictions, while other open air venues and non-essential retail re-opened elsewhere. Vintage Vera, is a small independent business which provides cool, affordable vintage clothing, while saving thousands of tonnes from landfill through kilo sales. Having held a small number of events within The Gate prior to lockdown, they no longer had opportunities to sell as events were cancelled. We wanted to continue to support an Independent that delivered against our ESG agenda and supported footfall during this challenging time.
