Buy Local Month is celebrated every July across the UK as a way to highlight the real impact of shopping close to home. When customers choose local shops, services, and producers, more money stays within the Lichfield economy. This supports local jobs, encourages new businesses to grow, and helps keep the community vibrant and resilient.
Independent retailers and service providers bring real character to Lichfield. From specialist boutiques and artisan food producers to friendly cafés, salons, tradespeople and professional services, these businesses offer personal service and unique products that larger chains or online giants can’t match. Supporting them means investing in what makes Lichfield special.
The Best of Lichfield proudly promotes and supports trusted local businesses throughout the area. By sharing local offers, events, and news, The Best of Lichfield makes it even easier for residents to choose high-quality, reliable local providers. Their mission is to help local businesses stand out, attract new customers, and keep spending in the local economy.
During Buy Local Month, everyone is encouraged to make small changes that add up to a big difference. Whether it’s buying gifts from an independent shop, using a local service provider, or enjoying a meal at a family-run restaurant or café, each choice helps support local jobs and maintain Lichfield’s unique charm.
So this July, make a conscious effort to think local, shop local, and celebrate the best that Lichfield has to offer. Supporting independent businesses is one of the easiest – and most rewarding – ways to help keep Lichfield’s economy strong, diverse, and full of character.
