Fylde Council Champions Small Business Saturday: Celebrate, Shop, and Support Local!

 

As Small Business Saturday returns on 7th December, Fylde Council is proud to celebrate the incredible businesses and entrepreneurs who form the backbone of our community. From bustling high streets in St Annes, Lytham, and Kirkham, to our hardworking rural enterprises, tradespeople, and those on our thriving enterprise and industrial parks, Fylde is full of businesses delivering outstanding products and services, many of them global leaders, and award winners,

This year, Fylde Council is calling on residents, and fellow business owners, to think local and support local. Whether you are seeking a unique gift for a friend, hunting down local eggs or milk, planning a leisure activity, or searching for high-quality services or products, choosing a Fylde-based business keeps money in our local economy and helps our community flourish.

Celebrating and Supporting Rural Businesses and Services

In addition to our fantastic high streets, shopping districts, and villages, Fylde is also home to an array of amazing rural enterprises integral to our economy and way of life. From farmers supplying fresh, local produce and dairy to contractors providing vital services and tourism-focused operators offering unique countryside experiences, our rural businesses enrich our community in countless ways. Many global names started in their local market. By supporting them, you are helping to sustain the heart of Fylde’s countryside.

Discover Fylde’s Local Gems

Fylde’s Shop Local Loyalty Card schemes in St Annes, Lytham, and Kirkham encourage residents and visitors to explore the independent retailers that make our high streets so special. Venture further afield to discover the treasures offered by businesses in our villages and industrial parks, where you will find personalised services, innovative products, and friendly expertise.
