Freshers Week and Student Shopping Nights: Candy Floss and Popcorn That Get Students Queuing
Updated: Oct 4
Branded candy floss is one of the easiest ways to get students to stop, stay and talk to you. Freshers Week is the busiest week of the year for students, brands and shopping centres, and free sweet treats work very well. Live candy floss and popcorn get attention, draw a crowd and make great photos for social media.
What we do
We run live candy floss and popcorn stalls for student nights, Freshers events, campus promotions and shopping centre activations. A professional attendant makes everything fresh on the spot. Students see it and smell it, and they queue for it.

Why brands and centres book us
Freshly made throughout your booking. One clear quote, not a fee per portion, so your budget stays predictable however busy it gets.
Brand-friendly. Bring your own branding, such as cones, tubs or signage, and we run the stall and make the product.
Safe and insured. We carry full risk assessments and a 5-star food hygiene rating, and we're fully insured with public liability insurance, so centre managers and venue teams can approve us quickly.
Experienced. We’ve been trading since 2003.
Where we’ve worked
We’ve worked at Metrocentre, Eldon Square, The Bridges and Cleveland Centre across the North East. We’ve also run events in Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham and Edinburgh, so we can travel for national campaigns and tours.
