Why should you shop local this Christmas?

Ross Town Centre offers a wide variety of independent shops selling everything from antique furniture to jewellery! Shopping locally supports small businesses and artists, keeping Ross Town Centre vibrant and alive! Small businesses offer unique gifts (or treats for yourself!) that can put the cherry on top of a Christmas stocking or be just what your loved one wanted.

At our biggest event of the year – the Christmas Fayre on Sunday 1st December – we will have 80 local businesses showcasing their products and goods! If you are unable to make it to the Christmas Fayre, don’t worry, as this year there will also be a series of Christmas Markets on Saturday’s 7th, 14th & 21st December under and around the Market House! Traders will open as early as 8:30am to give you a chance to shop before work or grab a pastry (or two!) while they are still hot!

If you are stuck on where to start, we suggest following the Vintage & Design Shopping Trail of seventeen specialist independent shops or our Independent Shopping Guide!
