Shop locally whilst supporting one of Gloucestershire's independent businesses this Christmas.
Now we’re out of lockdown, many of us are keen to finish our Christmas shopping so we've asked our team for their own personal recommendations on where to shop locally. With the High Street hit hard because of the pandemic, it’s become more important than ever to support Gloucestershire's independent businesses. We’ve gathered ideas for Christmas gifts and décor, all recommended by our own team.
