Organise an Event
Shopping Mall Activations
At The Make Company we specialise in children’s workshops and shopping mall activations, and are here to make planning a craft event easy!
We have been running pop-up workshops at shopping malls since 2015 and our approach to deliver these activations is stress free for clients, parents and kids. Our philosophy is to inspire kids by engaging them through craft to be creative, discover new skills and play.
Our pop-up holiday activations at shopping malls are very popular and attract parents to bring their kids and increase foot traffic at your shopping mall. We will work with you to tailor-make a solution that meets your specific and unique requirements. We love to inspire our clients and work with them to deliver their ideas. We offer a wide range of themes that focus on special times of the year such as Spring, Easter & Christmas, as well as other important and very special dates like Mother’s Day. We can offer organisers everything from the complete package including booking, setup and the facilitation of your event, or alternatively we can customise our craft to your event setting and budget. For inspiration, please take a look at our gallery below.
