Northamptonshire membership organisation NNBN are calling for local people to consider shopping local this month as we head towards the festive season and heading into tomorrow’s Small Business Saturday campaign.

Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.

The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

On Small Business Saturday, customers across the U.K. go out and support all types of small businesses, online, in offices and in stores. Many small businesses take part in the day by hosting events and offering discounts.

NNBN’s support for the campaign this year includes features on businesses around Northamptonshire and includes Jeyes of Earls Barton, Rushden Escape Rooms, Wine Chateau in Wellingborough and others from around the County which will see features published on line and across social media to help support small businesses across the County.

Here in Northamptonshire, both North Northamptonshire and West Northamptonshire Councils are offering free parking in towns across the County to encourage local people to shop local as part of the campaign and build up to the festive season and the Hi Santa campaign is in full flow in North Northamptonshire where local people can explore their local businesses by taking part in the trail which can be found here - https://www.northnorthants.gov.uk/hisanta.
