Tomorrow, Devizes will hold its second Indie Day.
The event helps to showcase the very best independent traders in town, as well as helping them bounce back after multiple restrictions.
Indie Day has been organised by Indies in Devizes which sprung up after coronavirus restrictions were lifted last June in a bid to get people to shop local.
The second Indie Day has been organised with the support of Devizes Town Council to get over the message that Devizes is open for business and has plenty to offer.
Everything will kick off at 10am, with a "secret special guest" in the Market Place.
Some amazing prizes will be on offer, including a unique and historic piece of jewellery, a generous travel voucher, £100s in vouchers from over 60 shops and cafes, including - artworks, vintage and vinyl, beautiful craftworks, treatments, pet food and accessories.
WHEN:
Indie Day will be held on Saturday, June 5.
