We will also use campaigns such as #5Local to highlight particular ways people can choose local throughout the year, helping more Eastbourne businesses get seen rather than relying on a single annual shop-local push.
Know an independent Eastbourne business more people should know about?
Tell us about them.
Your recommendation could introduce somebody else to a brilliant shop, maker, producer or independent business they might otherwise have missed.
Recommendations also help us identify local businesses that should be included as Buy Local Eastbourne continues to grow.
Recommend one of your local favourites and help us champion more of Eastbourne.
If you run an independent business and believe you should be part of Buy Local Eastbourne, we would love to hear from you too.
We are particularly interested in businesses offering local products, independent retail, handmade gifts and local produce, although Buy Local Eastbourne is ultimately about encouraging people to think local across much more of their everyday spending.
Get in touch with thebestof Eastbourne and tell us about your business.
The goal is straightforward. Make local businesses easier to find, give residents more reasons to choose them and build a Buy Local campaign that supports Eastbourne businesses throughout the year.
