“Cuffe & Taylor programmes a vibrant array of live shows across the nation, catering for every individual taste, making TK Maxx a natural fit for a partnership with us. On both a local and national level, TK Maxx’s approach to business and their support of charities are values we felt aligned particularly well with our Cuffe & Taylor shows.

Much like the varied offering of our live event programming,” added Peter Taylor, co-found of Cuffe & Taylor. “TK Maxx works tirelessly to make sure their customer experience engages people across a broad range of tastes and interests. We’ve also been impressed by TK Maxx’s commitment to community, their dedication to helping vulnerable children and young people across the UK, and their thoughtful approach to partnerships. We welcome them to our shows and look forward to celebrating together in 2024.”

A TK Maxx spokesperson said: “Everyone knows, there’s no deal like a TK Maxx deal. Our big brands at small prices mean that, without fail, our customers always get something more special for less. And that’s just us on a normal day.
