GRASSINGTON is joining in with thousands of independent shops and businesses across the UK to put on very special £5 offers which began on February 15 and runs to February 29.
Julia Metcalfe, Grassington Chamber of Trade secretary said “Fiver Fest is now a big part of our promotions for Grassington. The independent shops and businesses are what makes our town special and unique. We appreciate it when our community support us, so these offers are to say thank you for that support, and to show just what great value our local businesses are.”
Fiver Fest is a free to join campaign, devised and run by Totally Locally, a grass roots high street organisation.
Julia added: “If every adult in Grassington spent £5 per week in their local shops and businesses, instead of online, at a national chain or at the big supermarket, it would be worth £0.2 million going directly into our local economy.
Which means more jobs, a better high street, a stronger economy and a nicer place to live.”
