Echo Base Brings Star Wars Magic to Redditch

Redditch took a trip to a galaxy far, far away this week as Echo Base landed inside the Kingfisher Shopping Centre.

Shoppers were met with an out-of-this-world surprise as iconic Star Wars characters made their way through the mall, stopping for photos, delighting families and creating unforgettable moments for fans young and old.

From stormtroopers patrolling the walkways to Jedi posing for pictures, the atmosphere was packed with excitement and nostalgia. Children were wide-eyed, parents were snapping photos, and the centre was filled with smiles all around.

Events like this show the power of creative experiences to bring people into the town centre and create lasting memories. They give people a reason to visit, a reason to stay, and most importantly, a reason to come back.

As the Business Improvement District for Redditch, we’re proud to support interactive events that bring joy, footfall and a sense of community to our town. Echo Base was a brilliant example of how entertainment and retail can come together to create something truly special.
