Why sit in traffic when you can shop locally. Save petrol and keep the local economy going.

About 23 of Stamford's independent retailers are taking part in an initiative to encourage shoppers to do their Christmas shopping in St Mary's Hill, St Mary's Street and Stamford Walk. They'll be offering special offers in December with vouchers and discounts. And there'll be a contest with all the participating shops donating goods towards the £1,000 prize hamper.

There are loads of great shops and shopping opportunities in Stamford, and there's really no need to sit in traffic and go anywhere else

Many of the shops will be opening throughout December to coincide with other town events, including the Annual Christmas Arts and Crafts fair on 7th December run by SKDC and the Stamford Christmas Winter Wonderland on Sunday, December 21, in Bath Row, which is being organised by Rosie Maclennan and backed by Stamford Town Partnershp and Chamber of Trade
