The floor
What One Day at Christmas is like to work.
A Grade II* listed former railway station with a vaulted roof, running consumer shows, art fairs and the city’s biggest Christmas party season.
A city-centre venue with a walk-in audience: consumer shows at Manchester Central bring people who have already decided to buy. Capture their details at the stand and the follow-up writes itself.
No handheld to rent
You do not need the organiser’s scanner at One Day at Christmas, or the queue to collect one.
Works in a dead-signal hall
Leads save on the phone and sync the moment the signal returns.
Scored before you leave
Companies House data, website summary and an ICP score on every record.
CSV before the doors close
Export the whole show from Manchester Central and hand it to sales the same evening.
