Buy and eat local in Warwickshire's wonderful towns and villages
Have a Warwickshire Christmas!
Warwickshire Towns Network has launched its Warwickshire Christmas campaign once again this year to encourage residents to get into their towns this Christmas and support local independent businesses.
For 2024, we are drawing on our incredible photo library, gathered on our towns tour last year. We can provide photos for every scenario, carrots, hot chocolate, teddy bears and more.
We will share as many posts as we can, and we’d also encourage you to check the #WarwickshireChristmas hashtag and share your fellow independents’ posts to get a real buzz around shopping local this Christmas, and if you would like to take part, please email towns@warwickshire.gov.uk.
This campaign is designed to run alongside any other campaigns that are happening too, so please feel free to also include relevant hashtags such as #buyandeatlocal #indies #bookshops, etc.
If you need any support, please say, we are here to help you with #buyeatlocal in #warwickshire and join the merriment here.

Let’s celebrate and champion our towns and independent businesses.

Buy local
The way that we use our town centres is changing, with some people doing less commuting and looking to make conscious purchases at a challenging time for household budgets.
A social media campaign that showcases Warwickshire's places and businesses runs all year round and we love to have your input. The campaign is perfectly positive about Warwickshire's offer and showcases sights and places to visit along with the best local finds and offers support for those who are running a business or looking to do so.

Eat local
Taste the difference – a food lover's tour of Warwickshire.
It should come as no surprise that rural Warwickshire is home to an abundance of high-quality produce, artisan makers and irresistible food and drink experiences. Take some colourful heritage, add a sprinkle of classic pubs, infuse with a gin cocktail masterclass, and mix with Michelin-starred dining and beautiful countryside. It’s the perfect recipe for this five-day tour – or dip in for a scrumptious short break or day out.
Meet the supplier and networking events
Our work with the food and drink sector in Warwickshire is aimed at connecting local food and drink producers and buyers across the county and further afield at a series of events across the county.
