Shop & Dine Well in Wealden
The Shop and Dine Well in Wealden campaign was first launched in September 2020 by Wealden District Council. The first phase of the campaign was funded via the national ‘Re-opening High Streets Safely Fund’ and focused on supporting Wealden high streets and shopping areas during the COVID-19 pandemic. The second phase of the campaign commenced in July 2021 and will continue to at least March 2022. Activity is focused on encouraging residents to continue to ‘buy locally’ and support local Wealden businesses including our high streets and local farmers’ markets and craft fairs. A wide-ranging marketing campaign is underway to encourage visitors to our town and village centres and support independent businesses.
