Christmas Market in Bournemouth

S&D Leisure, from Clarendon's Bournemouth Business Centre, organise the Christmas festival every year in Bournemouth. This year, there are lots of events for the Bournemouth public to attend and enter into the festive spirit.

The Bournemouth Christmas Market is open 7 days a week from 10am-10pm (apart from on Christmas Day). Come and find that unique Christmas gift or just wander along and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Our famous Bavarian "Moose Bar" is now open daily from 10am and also from 9.30am every Saturday. Come down and enjoy a warm glass of Glühwein and a Bratwurst sausage freshly cooked on the swing grill.

There are also two Christmas parades for you to enjoy. The Santa Parade took place on the 1st December and the Nativity Parade will take place on the 14th December at 6pm. These events are family community events, so come down and show your support, or why not take part and use this as an opportunity to promote your business?

We have also organised two Petting Zoos, one on the 7th & 8th December and again on 20th & 21st December, so bring along your children and enjoy this family event.

All the Christmas events are taking place in Bournemouth Town Square, so come down and enjoy all that we have to offer.

Grace Priest from S&D Leisure Europe Ltd comments: "We would also like to take this time to thank the Clarendon team for all their support which they give to S&D Leisure - without them our office would not run as smoothly."

If you would like to get involved in this event, please e-mail S&D Leisure at enquires@sdleisure.com

Fulham Focus: The Chapar - Reinventing The Way Men Shop!

The Chapar is a new, disruptive menswear retail concept that reaches a new type of consumer with the best brands, hand-selected by personal stylists, when and where he wants it. The concept is positioned in the premium bracket and is changing the way men shop.

The Independent described The Chapar as follows:

"You fill in a 'style profile' online and an expert picks a selection of clothes suited to you. These are delivered to your home or office, and you can even meet a stylist one-to-one - all for free. Pick the items you like and that's all that you pay for. Smart"

How it works:
  • The concept works by sending a Trunk of clothes, hand-selected by one of their personal stylists, out to members of The Chapar.
  • The Trunk is highly bespoke and hand-selected according to the personal fashion profile of each customer.
  • They courier the Trunk to the customer. He only keeps what he wants - and they collect the rest.
  • He pays no fees for the service and simply pays for the clothes he keeps at full retail price.
They currently stock 25 different high quality brands including lines from: Tommy Hilfiger, Diesel, John Smedley, Dockers, Levis, Sunspel, Hentsch Man and other first-class labels. Clarendon Clients can sign up now on their website and, if you use the code CLARENDONBC, you will receive a gift in your first trunk!

Sam Middleton, Founder of The Chapar, comments:

"Clarendon Business Centre in Fulham is perfect for us as the environment is creative, engaging and enjoyable. Our brand ethos is about excellence and service and we felt that Clarendon also reflects these values. Our team loves working here and the entrepreneurial spirit the place embodies."

To find out more and claim your gift in your first trunk, visit The Chapar or contact Sam on 0203 542 1510.

Bromley Focus: Looking For A New Boardroom?

Well, look no further! At Clarendon's Bromley Business Centre, we have modernised the boardroom with a stylish and fashionable design that will suit everyone's needs. We have installed a new boardroom table, which can seat up to 10 people, and added FREE WIFI. Feedback from our clients has been very positive so far and they feel that we have achieved "an extremely professional feel" to the room.

We are also starting a refurbishment of the reception area. This will include new furniture, new décor and will also include a new TV (in time plenty of time for the World Cup!).


These changes are part of our ongoing modernisation plan. We are tackling each area in separate stages in order to minimise any disruption to clients and visitors. We will continue to update other areas of Clarendon Bromley over the next 12 months in order to accommodate everyone's requirements.

To find out more, please contact Charlene Gunn on 0208 315 6666 or email: bromley@clarendonbc.co.uk

Bracknell Focus: Bracknell & Wokingham College

As part of Clarendon's ongoing commitment to the government's apprentice scheme the Clarendon's Bracknell Business Centre has held meetings with Bracknell & Wokingham College, situated next to the Centre, with a view of working together with them.

The course that we will be involved with is the BTEC Business Diploma. Clarendon will offer an opportunity for the students to visit the centre and discuss what they would need to do when starting a business and discover the options open to them.

Bracknell & Wokingham College's course manager said: "the idea of working with Clarendon and their resident business clients is very exciting and will be of great benefit to our students. We look forward to working together in the New Year."
