South Wales students are set for an unforgettable start to the academic year as St David’s Cardiff brings back its hugely popular Student Shopper Sweep.
Inspired by the classic ‘Supermarket Sweep’, lucky students can win the chance to take part in a packed schedule of high-energy 5-minute shopping dashes at top brands within the city shopping destination.
Brands taking part in the Student Shopper Sweep on Thursday 25th September include Zara, Space NK, Pull&Bear, Schuh, John Lewis, Footasylum, Levi’s, Hollister, Boots, H&M, Stradivarius, Bershka, Superdrug, and the newly reopened LEGO Store.
The sprees will be captured on camera featured exclusively on St David’s social channels, showcasing the ultimate student shopping experience. A new winner will be selected every half hour, with each £100 dash taking place in a different store.
The student event will be held between 11am–7pm at St David’s Cardiff alongside a host of student activities and promos including a complimentary popcorn trike, live DJ, showstopping roaming entertainment as well as free food and beauty sampling from the likes of MAC, The Body Shop and Bubble Citea plus games from Frankie & Benny’s, Schuh and TGI.
In addition, St David’s will be hosting a Cash Grab booth and Basketball Shoot Out game with the highest scores winning shopping vouchers.
From 22 September, students can also unlock exclusive discounts, perks, and offers across St David’s. With over 160 brands under one roof – from big-name designers and high street favourites to must-try dining spots – St David’s is the place to shop, socialise and celebrate the new academic year in the city.
Helen Morgan, Centre Director at St David’s Cardiff, said: “We can’t wait to welcome Cardiff’s student community for a year of fun, energy, and fantastic prizes. The Student Shopper Sweep is a highlight of the calendar, and we know it’s going to be bigger and better than ever in 2025. Bringing games, giveaways and guaranteed good times, along with two weeks of sizzling student savings, it’s the perfect way to showcase the city’s shopping scene to students.”
