That’s the message from Wimborne BID who are urging Wimborne shoppers to support the town’s local businesses and shop local in the run up to Christmas, highlighted by a special Small Business Saturday campaign on Saturday 6th December.
Wimborne businesses have come together, with the support of Wimborne BID, to celebrate this national day. Shoppers will be able to pick up a free, reusable tote bag, courtesy of Wimborne BID, with a range of gifts, goodies and discount vouchers supplied by local businesses.
BID manager Tammy Sleet will be in Wimborne Square from midday, weather permitting, to hand out the bags.
BID board director Scott Fountain, owner of About Time Watches, said: “We’re thrilled to be part of the nationwide celebration of the UK’s 5.5 million small businesses—the beating heart of our high streets, communities and local culture.”
Wimborne BID chair Fiona Pawsey said: “It’s a chance to showcase the creativity, care, and character that small businesses bring to our town every single day. When you spend money locally, your money stays in the local economy supporting jobs and livelihoods. We’re encouraging people to shop local this Christmas and support small businesses.
Whether you’re picking up a gift, grabbing a coffee, or simply popping in to say hello, your visit helps keep our local economy thriving and our community connected.”
Shoppers can also enjoy free parking in the town on Small Business Saturday in many of the car parks except for Waitrose, Co-Op and High Street.
