FRESHWATER LATE NIGHT SHOPPING 5th December
4pm to 8pm
Weโre lucky to have some brilliant independent shops and businesses that really do rely on our support. If we donโt use them, we risk losing them.
So, together with the Parish Council, Cllr Becca Cameron has helped organise a late-night shopping evening for all the family. A whole range of local shops and businesses will be staying open later than usual, with special Christmas offers, pop-up artists and plenty to tempt you inside. Free parking in Avenue Road Car Park for the event.
So please save the date and come out and support them. We will be running a social media post next week so please share it with all your friends and family.
