Fiver Fest Sherborne 2023

11-25th March 2023

Fiver Fest, run by Totally Locally is a national campaign that aims to support small and independent businesses by offering products and services for just £5. Sherborne has been involved for a number of years and once again in March 2023, we are asking local businesses to get involved to help encourage local communities to shop locally.

By participating in Fiver Fest, small businesses can increase their visibility, attract new customers, and build lasting relationships with their local communities. This event not only helps small businesses increase their revenue, but it also promotes the growth and sustainability of local economies, making it a win-win for everyone involved.

Supporting local businesses can have a significant impact on driving the local economy. When consumers choose to buy from local businesses, they are keeping money within the community and the local economy, rather than going to larger corporations located elsewhere. This, in turn, helps to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth.

Here at the chamber, we support this wholeheartedly. Sherborne has a vibrant independent business community that isn’t found in every town. It’s special and remains the life blood of our high street.

Jane Wood of Sherborne Chamber of Commerce said “If every adult in Sherborne spent just £5 per week in their local independent shops and businesses, it would mean £1.9m per year going directly into our local economy. That leads to more jobs, a better high street, a stronger economy & a nicer place to live. Makes you think doesn’t it?!”
