From 1 February 2026, Luton Point will become a vape free environment, marking an important step in our commitment to creating a cleaner, healthier and more enjoyable space for everyone who visits, works or shops with us.
This change is part of our new campaign, Escape the Vape, which puts the wellbeing of our community at the heart of everything we do.
Why we’re going vape free
We want our centre to be a place where families, friends and colleagues can spend time comfortably. Removing vaping from our spaces helps us:
What this means for visitors
From 1 February, vaping will not be permitted anywhere on our site — including malls, entrances, walkways and car parks. Visitors who wish to vape will need to do so outside the centre and away from our entrances.
Clear signage and friendly reminders from our team will help everyone adjust to the new policy.
A positive step for our community
We’re proud to join a growing number of public spaces taking action to reduce vaping in shared environments. Together with our stores, partners and visitors, we’re building a space that puts health, comfort and community first.
Got any questions – please see our FAQ below. Thank you for supporting this important change — and for choosing to Escape the Vape with us.
