Ecommerce giant Amazon is launching the Prime Day Dream House in London July 6, with a slate of entertainment to mark Prime Day.
Prime Day has become a cultural and retail phenomenon, rivalling Black Friday and Christmas as one of the big shopping events of the year. Amazon’s annual Prime Day event takes place on July 12 and 13 this year, and offers millions of deals globally to Prime members over the 48 hours.
Amazon is marking that success in the UK with a series of events that will be available free online through Amazon and various social media channels.
The entertainment lineup includes the pop sensation RAYE, TV chef Big Zuu, well-known author, influencer and foodie Tilly Ramsay, TV personality Sam Thompson, footballers Jarrod Bowen and Ben Foster, and social influencers Timbsy and Max Balegde.
Members of the public could enter to win a limited number of free tickets via @AmazonUK on Instagram by July 1, or tune in via @AmazonUK on Instagram on the night to follow the action with Max Balegde from 7 p.m. BST on July 6.
Split across three rooms in the Prime Day Dream House, the evening will see the participating talent collaborating across a variety of interactive challenges and entertaining moments.
“I’ve been looking forward to Prime Day since the last one,” said Dream House host Sam Thompson. “It’s such a great time to find deals on Amazon while doing our part to support small businesses as well. This year, I’ll be hosting the Prime Day Dream House celebrations with Big Zuu vs. Tilly Ramsay happening in the kitchen, Jarrod Bowen against Ben Foster in the ultimate FIFA face-off and an epic performance by RAYE, what more could you want?”
