Sylvia Park's Big Night Out

Sylvia Park's Big Night Out.

Save the date now: Thursday 24 September. From 6pm that evening Sylvia Park Shopping Centre is kicking off a four-day expo with Big Night Out in the Park.

Big night all right. It’ll be shopping’s very own opening night gala extravaganza with plenty of in-store discounts, entertainment, sessions with stylists, refreshments, gift bags, a fashion show and a live prize draw worth $40,000, a package which includes a Ford Focus Trend Hatch car.

Sylvia Park has 200 stores and they’ll all be open until 10pm on Thursday. Expect discounts of between 10 per cent to 50 per cent at participating stores. There will also be plenty of other stands in the walkways for big ticket items like boats and caravans.

Spend $100 on the night and, if you’re one of the first 300, you’ll receive a gift bag valued at $150.

It shouldn’t be hard to do as Sylvia Park has a fantastic line-up of stores where you can get everything from fashion, makeup, sunglasses, lingerie, jewellery, shoes, stationery, gifts and homewares to artisan chocolate, electronics gear, tents, a haircut and plenty of dining options.

Make the most of the experts on-hand with former international model and professional stylist Angela Stone. Angela and a team of three more stylists available for complimentary sessions during the Big Night Out in the Park and throughout the expo.

You’ll get a colour consultation to understand the colours that will work best on you and advice on how best to dress for your specific body shape. Then, with your newfound knowledge, you’ll receive a $30 gift card to get you started immediately with a power shop alongside a stylist.

There will also be mini makeovers with Nude by Nature skincare and mineral makeup range, as well as manicures and nail care tips by Art of Nails.

While you’re indulging, the men won’t be dragging their feet behind you. Instead, you’ll likely find them eyeing up the caravans, campervans , barbecues and boats on show.

George FM DJs will ensure a carnival atmosphere, as will a fashion show presenting the Miss NZ Miss World pageant gowns made by SewTech fashion school students.

Make a night of it with friends. At 9.30pm the prize draw takes place for the new car, a trip for two to Queenstown with accommodation and a makeover from Schnips PHd salon and The Body Shop.

We all know shopping is a valid pastime, but Sylvia Park’s Big Night Out in the Park will elevate it to a whole new level with entertainment, expert advice, gift bags and pamper sessions. A trip to a shopping centre may never be this much fun again – except, of course, the Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the expo.
