Christmas Shopping

As Christmas approaches your local traders will have everything you need for the festive season - whether it be unique cards, thoughtful presents, sumptuous food or quirky decorations. There will be late night shopping on Thursday evenings in December (apart from the 24th) and a small market on the 3rd of December. Rest assured that social distancing and all necessary precautions will be taken to keep you safe.

5 things you can do this Christmas to support your local traders :

1. Engage with them on social media. Lots of shops will post their new products and offers on Instagram and Facebook.

2. Check if they have a website so you can easily browse and buy from them online

3. Pick up the phone and have a chat with the shop owner - we’re a friendly bunch who will do everything we can to help you!

4. Download The DON Shopper app to shop the high street from your mobile phone

5. Tell a friend! Share your favourite businesses and encourage others to shop locally

Remember - Shop Safe, Shop Local, Shop Ashburton!
