HAPPY HOLIDAYS

The smell of freshly baked mince pies dance around the streets and the sounds of Christmas cheer fills the air. It’s that time of year again; the popular Bedminster Christmas Gift Guide is back, and your stockings are ready to be filled with wonderful local gifts and treats.

There’s no better time than Christmas to get out on to our BS3 highstreets and support your community by shopping local. Whether you love the personal touch of a hand-wrapped gift or the convenience of online, Bedminster retailers have amazing service and online deliveries.

The hundreds of traders and businesses right here in BS3 have something for everyone. If it’s a Christmas jumper, the must-have toys, or the ultimate gift hamper – we’ve got you covered. With toys, experiences, food & drinks, homeware, and preloved categories, you’ll be sure to find something to gift someone you love this Christmas.

Remember, when you shop from an independent business… someone does a little happy dance.
