Make the most of Warwickshire's magical independent businesses this Christmas

“Buying local is a great way to support our businesses and we have so many great retailers in the county that can provide the perfect gift this festive season.”

Local independent businesses are encouraged to shout about their events and activities in the lead up to Christmas as part of the #WarwickshireChristmas campaign running again this year, encouraging residents and visitors into Warwickshire’s towns.

The #WarwickshireChristmas campaign, organised by Warwickshire County Council, shines a spotlight on local, independent businesses throughout the county, encouraging them to share the range of quality products, services and events they offer as people are starting their Christmas shopping.

Running throughout November and December, the campaign highlights businesses and their gift ideas all over the county, and showcases individual towns and villages where residents and visitors can shop and enjoy local events

Businesses are encouraged to get involved with the campaign, led by Warwickshire Towns Network, on social media by using #WarwickshireChristmas and sharing their own Christmas content online.

Councillor Martin Watson, portfolio holder for Economy at Warwickshire County Council, said: “Christmas is a key time for many of our local businesses, and Warwickshire has a lot to offer in our range of towns and villages throughout the county.

“Buying local is a great way to support our businesses and we have so many great retailers in the county that can provide the perfect gift this festive season.”
