Prescot Fiver Fest Continues Till 29 February

By on Monday, February 24, 2020

Prescot’s independent shops are taking part in the Totally Locally National Fiver Fest until 29 February.

Along with thousands of other businesses across the nation, they are offering an impressive array of £5 offers to entice shoppers to the high street. Over 100 towns are taking part this year.

Participant Cath O’Grady, of The Dance Shop, said that “the independent shops and businesses are what makes our town special and unique. We appreciate it when our community support us, so these offers are to say thank you for that support, and to show just what great value our local businesses are.”

The Fiver Fest philosophy is based around the idea that if every adult in Prescot spent £5 per week in local shops and businesses, instead of online, at a national chain or at the big supermarket, an estimated £5.6 million would go directly into the local economy.

“We know Fiver Fest isn’t going to change the world,” said Chris Sands of Totally Locally, “but small changes in spending habits can really make a difference to our high streets. Just by diverting £5 of our weekly spend to local independents we give them a fighting chance to thrive. It’s a conversation worth having.”
