Sometimes we all need a gentle reminder to support our local high street and Small Business Saturday on December 6th gives us that opportunity.

Supporting local businesses is at the heart of what we do here at thebestoflichfield, our independent retailers need repeat business to survive from loyal local consumers who should be proud to buy local!

Small Business Saturday is a nationwide initiative that has led to increased footfall and takings for local businesses up and down the country, and local shopkeepers are hoping that it will do the same across Lichfield City and Burntwood. 

A campaign endorsed by government, traders are encouraging people to shop with them by offering a variety of tempting special offers:
