Whilst you may not be able to visit our traders in person, behind closed doors they’re working hard to offer click and collect and online services to keep giving you a taste for independent shopping during lock-down.

This Christmas, it is more important than ever to shop local and support our high-street heroes. Whether you’re looking for a Christmas gift, food for the cupboards or something to keep the kids entertained, the BS3 community will have something for you.

With a handful of essential businesses staying open for business as usual, you can still get your food fix from FLIP, Zero Green, East Street Fruit Market, ALDI + a number of others, whilst your computer can still be serviced at Compuwave and pharmacy’s are open as usual.

The majority of others have adapted to offer takeaway or click and collect services, with an incredible 35 food and drink traders offering takeaway to satisfy those Friday afternoon coffee boosts and cake cravings, and over 50 traders have switched to online shopping for all your Christmas shopping.
