With Christmas just around the corner, now is the time to support these local gems, who play such an integral role in our community.
Today, The Swindonian proudly launches the Shop Local in Swindon campaign, encouraging everyone to make a conscious effort to shop locally this festive season. Follow the hashtag #SwindonChristmas for all things merry and bright happening in our town.
