TOTALLY Locally, the award-winning shop local campaign, will launch in Tavistock on Saturday, July 13.

There will be a Totally Locally market with stalls from local traders and many of the local shops offering the townspeople the best of local produce and fantastic offers to celebrate Tavistock's independent shops and businesses during the event.

There will be a 'Fiver Fest' running for two weeks from the launch date, where independent shops will have special offers for £5.

Tavistock is the latest of many towns across the UK to take up the Totally Locally campaign. The free initiative supports Tavistock's traders to show the value of local shopping and its benefits for the local economy.

Many of the shops, businesses and stalls will have special offers — highlighting Totally Locally's message that if everyone in Tavistock spent just £5 a week in local independent shops, it would bring an extra £2.6-million into the town's economy every year.

Tavistock resident Rachel Harrison-French said: 'This is a chance for locals to discover Tavistock's great shops and businesses, and the real difference they make to our town.'

As well as the Totally Locally market, there will also be a host of activities for families, including a Totally Locally town trail, exhibition, crafts and freebies.

Businesses who would like to be involved in the Fiver Fest should email what they would be prepared to offer customers for a fiver, such as a £5 lunch deal, £5 meat pack or a £5 gift, to [email protected]">[email protected] before June 28.
