Westgate Oxford is helping residents and visitors beat the January blues with a packed programme of events, prizes and seasonal offers designed to bring warmth and cheer to the city during the final weeks of winter.
With the post-festive lull often making January feel long and lacklustre, the retail and leisure destination is encouraging guests to embrace the season with a mix of indulgent experiences and value-led promotions.
A highlight of the month is a special event in collaboration with John Lewis, taking place on 19 January. Guests attending the event can enjoy personal styling sessions, make-up masterclasses, along with a selection of surprises and giveaways. Tickets cost £10 and are redeemable against spend during the event.
In addition, shoppers will have the chance to win prizes from a wide range of Westgate Oxford brands through the centre’s social media channels. Participating names include Curzon, UNIQLO, Victors, Junkyard Golf, Dirty Bones, Hotel Chocolat, The Body Shop, Accessorize and Snowflake Gelato.
Westgate Oxford’s Guest Experience team will also be spreading smiles on 31 January by offering free hot chocolates and sweet treats to celebrate National Hot Chocolate Day.
Throughout the month, many of the centre’s food, drink and leisure brands are running special January offers to help guests stretch their budgets until pay day.
These include discounted cinema screenings and community showings at Curzon, Victors’ January sale with 50 per cent off its à la carte menu, and Flight Club’s ‘Dry & Try January’ campaign promoting alcohol-free cocktails alongside new social darts games.
Other highlights include £6 burger and fries deals at Dirty Bones, discounted winter menus at The Alchemist and Sticks’n’Sushi, student offers across multiple venues, and family-friendly pricing at Junkyard Golf. From lunchtime bargains to themed evenings and immersive experiences, the offers aim to appeal to a wide range of tastes and budgets.
Brendan Hattam, Centre Director at Westgate Oxford, said: “It’s a pleasure to put a smile on our guests’ faces through January with so many entertaining and enticing offers. From warming dishes to friendly competition, there’s so much to keep us busy this winter.
“There’s also plenty to look forward to as we head into 2026, starting with the arrival of a brand new LEGO store. It’s set to be an exciting year ahead for Westgate Oxford.”
