Shop Local for a Magical Buckingham Christmas

As we head into December the preparations for Christmas begins with plenty of fun activities, food and shopping lists longer than Santa’s! With festive music being played and decorations appearing, now is the time to visit your favourite shops and support your local businesses which are all stocked up with gifts and treats. Even if you don’t celebrate Christmas, it’s always a special time to come together with friends and family and enjoy the magic of the season.

There are many reasons as to why it’s great to shop local:

-Buckingham businesses make our town special and all of them offer something unique and original.

-Discover the great choice of gifts available on your doorstep, see and feel the products to make sure you’ve made the right choice.

-Supporting your high street improves the local economy by creating more local jobs in the community.

-Shopping local reduces your carbon footprint and you know what’s not stuck on that cargo ship? Locally produced or sourced goodies!

Don’t forget that many of our local coffee shops, restaurants, pubs and hotels have stocked their pantries with festive products and are offering Christmas dining menus for that special celebration with friends and family.

Our website is here to help support residents, businesses and visitors by providing information about our lovely town.
