What is a festive display?

A festive display is a large-scale activation that features a range of products to decorate a space for a festival such as Christmas, Ramadan, Diwali or the Lunar New year. The purpose is to create a magical, immersive experience to attract visitors, increase dwell time and make people feel good. A festive display can be completely bespoke, to reflect the festival theme or use a mixture of illuminated and non-illuminated features and products to create the display. We carefully curate a wide range of products to deliver a seamless festive lighting display.

Our festive displays

Popular types of festive displays

There are two main types of festive displays, illuminated and non-illuminated displays. The most common type of festive displays are illuminated Christmas lighting schemes which are used to decorate high streets, towns and shopping centres for Christmas. 

These displays can be illuminated, non-illuminated, by using different types of Christmas decorations or feature a mix of lit products like lamp post motifs, Christmas trees and 3D features such as selfie points and non-illuminated decorations, like garland. Non-illuminated festive displays can also be called Christmas decorations but its common that both are used together to  create the best impact during the day and night. This mix provides the perfect blend between a stunning visual impact, cost and display coverage. Other popular types of festive displays include seasonal displays, light trails and wider placemaking activations such as festoon lighting which can be used around the year. 

Delivering measurable results with world class Christmas displays

Our displays reach millions of people every year, both in person and through social media. Every display we create is designed to deliver return on investment. From simple festoon lighting to brighten up a small shopping street to the most complex and challenging, city-wide Christmas lighting schemes across London, which use everything from cross street displays and motifs to stunning 3D Christmas decorations to immerse visitors in the festive atmosphere. 

The objective is to bring joy and ultimately drive footfall for local businesses. Our displays are proven to draw crowds and Business Improvement District Data on a recent festive display shows a 2% increase in visitor numbers compared to the previous display year and more importantly, for an urban shopping centre scheme, a 3% increase in the share of city centre footfall.

Festive display ideas

Field and Lawn can help bring your festive display idea to life! Our creatives are experienced in all aspects of display design and installation, and will design a display that will balance your budget with the brief to design a unique festive display that works perfectly in your location. From highly-sustainable displays that feature a range of recyclable materials to fully emmersive and interactive schemes, we are ideas people! Some trending display ideas include:

Interactive displays

Create photo-op spots with 3D features like archways, giant chairs, large presents and unusual decorations that will work well on social media. Our features are designed to stand up to any environment, indoors and outside. They are easy and fast to install. A standard 3 pin socket can power a feature so there is no need for complicated electrical work. 

There are so many interactive options, like walk-through baubles and towering festive sculptures will transform your space for Christmas. If you are looking for interactive features, we can supply new and ex-display products for your scheme! 

Feature Christmas trees

When it comes to Christmas lighting, Christmas trees are the stand-out feature. Choose from real or artificial and pre-decorated options for quick and easy installation. If you are looking to decorate a high street for Christmas, create a central focal point by using a large commercial Christmas tree at the centre of your festive display.

One of our favourite interactive festive display ideas is creating a bespoke animated display using RGB Twinkly Pro lighting. This product can be used either as a ceiling of light to create a dynamic canopy or used to decorate a tree. The display can be remotely programmed with a scheme of your choice. Why not st it to music and have nightly show to draw the crowds.

Commercial festive displays

Shopping centres are big spaces, often well-lit during the day and night. To create a high impact Christmas scheme, our top-tip is to use garlands, wreaths and oversized decorations around balustrades and entrances. Garland can also be used to decorate planters and pathways.

For maximum daylight impact, consider using shimmering disks within the decorations to bring energy to the display without relying on lit product exclusively.
