TMG’s Slingshot wins Southbank Centre Wintertime 2018/19 event sponsorship account

Slingshot has announced that it has been appointed by London’s Southbank Centre to manage its commercial rights for Wintertime – the UK’s largest celebration of winter culture.

Slingshot Sponsorship will handle all commercial rights and partner opportunities ahead of the 2018/2019 event.

Over the event which spans three months from November 2018 to January 2019, the Southbank Centre’s Queens Walk will be transformed into a twinkling winter extravaganza filled with Christmas surprises, attractions and activities for everyone. The celebration integrates a diverse arts and culture programme, festive food and winter markets, as well as headline shows, the fairy tale Rumpelstiltskin and the daredevil spectacular Circus 1903 – making it the place to be for both consumers and brands this winter.
