Considering shops can begin to open on June 15th, this may be one of our last posts. We should all continue to support small, local businesses as much as possible over the coming months (and always!). The next time you need to purchase a gift, or some produce – consider looking more locally than the big, chain stores. Hopefully, we can come out of this safely and with a better appreciation for local!

(All of the information in this post is accurate to the best of our knowledge, however, we recommend that you confirm with the businesses themselves before ordering.)

Stunning!

We’re not sure how many more (if any) episodes we will publish of this series. As business begins to pick up again and property market news is constantly updating, we may have more pressing things to share. But we’ve thoroughly enjoyed creating it and the sentiment remains the same: when you are able, try to support the small, local businesses that help to keep Norwich running.

Let us know if you use any of the businesses that we’ve mentioned today – we’d love to hear!

Stay safe and support local!
