Wex Photo Video to open Milton Keynes store in April

Photographic and video specialist retailer launches brand new Milton Keynes store with Instagram competition and spectacular grand opening featuring legendary photographer Homer Sykes

Wex Photo Video is opening a brand new store in Silbury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, on 4 April 2020. The award-winning retailer, which specialises in photographic and video equipment, has added the property to its rapidly growing portfolio of shop locations, with a 3,000-square-foot store in the heart of the town centre at Unit 14 Lloyds Court, which will be open seven days a week.

A Grand Opening event will take place from 24-25 April, where the expert Wex team and representatives from all the leading brands of cameras, lenses and accessories will be on hand to demonstrate equipment and answer customers’ questions. Manufacturers will include Fujifilm, Canon, Sony, Panasonic and Olympus.

Renowned British documentary photographer Homer Sykes will make a personal appearance to officially open the store at 10.00am on Friday 24 April. Throughout the two days, visitors will be treated to a number of free gifts, savings and special offers, plus a big ‘giveaway’ prize draw to win an Olympus Tough TG-6 and Fujifilm Instax gear. Budding photographers can also apply to take part in a photo walk at 10.30am around the local area, led by Homer Sykes himself.

At the dedicated photo and video facility, customers will be able to try out products ‘hands-on’ at the hi-tech play tables, with a vast line-up of items on offer from travel compacts to mirrorless cameras, DSLRs, video cameras and drones. Accessories include everything photographers and filmmakers need on location and in the studio, including lighting, tripods, bags, flashguns, printers, storage and filters. An extensive range of high-quality, pre-owned equipment will also be available at excellent prices. In addition, Wex will offer a complimentary sensor clean voucher to all attendees.
