Ludlow is a Gem of a town; a Gem made of many small businesses, which make Ludlow a special place and Together We Shine brighter.

There are many ways you can support your local businesses; engaging with them, and more importantly buying from them. This could be by purchasing products, gift vouchers and services from businesses which are open, but also the businesses which are closed as result of the second Lockdown.

Many of the businesses that were forced to close are still able to trade online or sell products and vouchers over the phone. Some are only able to sell gift vouchers for their services, only to be redeemed when they are allowed to
open again; think of your favourite restaurants, cafes, beauticians, hairdressers, entertain,ent venues and so on.
