2026-10-29T16:32:02Z
Shopping locally is good for your community. But what if it could also win you dinner for two, a family day out, a shopping voucher or even a cosy pair of PJs?
Welcome to Support Local Month, our November campaign celebrating the brilliant independent businesses that make Buckinghamshire such a lovely place to live, work and shop. And we’ve got a little incentive to get you out exploring: 127 local businesses are taking part, with 63 prizes up for grabs.
So, whether you’re in Aylesbury, Marlow, Amersham, Buckingham, High Wycombe or somewhere in between, it’s time to show our local businesses some love. You might even win something along the way.
Shop Local. Discover More. Win Prizes.
From independent butchers and farm shops to cosy cafés, brilliant restaurants, museums and gift shops, there’s a whole lot to discover on your doorstep.
Need a decent cut of meat for Sunday lunch? Fancy a coffee and cake somewhere new? Looking for a present that’s a little more thoughtful than another panic-bought gift set? Your local independents have you covered.
And with Christmas creeping ever closer, November is the perfect time to get ahead with your festive shopping. Discover independent gift shops, find something handmade, stock up on delicious local produce or treat someone to an experience they’ll actually remember.
The best bit? Every visit to a participating business gives you another chance to win.
63 Prizes. Plenty Of Reasons To Get Out There.
Our participating businesses have kindly donated 63 prizes, and there’s a lovely mix of treats, experiences and little luxuries up for grabs.
Fancy a £40 voucher to spend at The Deli in Chalfont St Giles? How about a family Golden Ticket to The Roald Dahl Museum, four tickets to Peter Pan at Wycombe Swan, or a family steaming day at Buckinghamshire Railway Centre?
There’s also dinner for two, afternoon treats, shopping vouchers, chocolates, pampering, bowling, creative workshops and plenty more. Whether you’re treating yourself, planning a family day out or finding a little something for someone special, there’s a prize worth having a look at.
And remember, these aren’t prizes from some faceless national brand. They’re donated by the very local businesses we’re encouraging you to visit. That’s what makes this campaign special.

Meet Your New Favourite Local Business
One of the best things about shopping locally is discovering places you didn’t even know existed. The little café you’ve been meaning to try. The independent shop with gifts you won’t find on the high street chains. The farm shop that might just change your Sunday roast game forever.
We’ve brought together 127 participating businesses across Buckinghamshire, so there’s plenty to explore. Browse by town or business type to find somewhere new, plan a local shopping trip or discover a hidden gem practically around the corner.

And don’t forget to tell your friends, family and fellow Bucks residents. The more people who take part, the more attention we can bring to the brilliant businesses on our doorstep.
A Little Local Love Goes A Long Way
Independent businesses bring character to our high streets, support local jobs and help make our towns and villages what they are. Every purchase, whether it’s your weekly shop, a birthday present or a coffee on a chilly November morning, helps keep that local spirit alive.
Support Local Month is our way of celebrating them, encouraging you to discover somewhere new and giving you the chance to win a few lovely things along the way.
So, this November, shop local, scan the code and be in it to win it.
🛍️ Then get out there and give your local independents some love. Your next favourite shop, lunch spot or Christmas present might be closer than you think.
