As the clocks go back and the colder weather approaches, I don’t know about you but I start to think about Christmas.
The build up to the festive season is always an exciting and vital time for retailers and traders and for all of us that live, work and shop in Salisbury and Amesbury.
We recognise that visitors and shoppers need to be enticed to provide a much needed boost to both towns.
Plans are well under way to provide a wonderful experience focused around the now well established Christmas Market in Salisbury.
This year the plans include the addition of an ice rink, live entertainment, a nutcracker trail and the annual lantern parade.
The ice rink, a new and exciting venture, will be available for private parties, school trip outings, special early bird family offers, and of course turn up and skate.
Promotion of the Christmas activities, including the offer of free parking from 3pm every day and free park and ride Monday-Saturday until Christmas Eve, will start soon and I’m sure will encourage visitors and shoppers to choose our Christmas activities and events.
Plus we know that the economic recovery in Amesbury and Salisbury will take time and commitment and I would please urge any business that needs continued support to call 01225 402096.
We need that positive build up to Christmas and I warmly welcome your ideas and views on what more we can all do to rebuild confidence and re-boost our wonderful town and city and bring back the visitors and shoppers that are so vital to the economic recovery.
