This year’s annual Shropshire Handmade and Creative Christmas Gift Fair will move outdoors at the Love2Stay resort in Shrewsbury this weekend, December 12 and 13, to comply with Covid-19 rules.
Shrewsbury Recovery Taskforce, made up of Shropshire Council, Shrewsbury Town Council and Shrewsbury BID, says that safety remains a top priority as many town centre businesses prepare to re-open in December.
People are being urged not to forget their local high street during the lockdown, with essential shops still open, and others running “alternative shopping” services.
Shoppers have been praised for wearing face coverings in town centre shops - with officials pleased that “the vast majority” of people are adhering to the new rules.
Following days of being in the national TV spotlight as the River Sever flooded parts of the town, Shrewsbury’s tourism attractions, shops and hospitality businesses have an important message for the outside world: “We are open for business.”
Romantic partners who splash out on touring caravan, caravan holiday home or motorhome for their loved ones on Valentine’s Day are in for a special treat at Salop Leisure in Shrewsbury.
