Small Business Saturday is coming back to Kettering tomorrow, Saturday 6 December.
Having only launched in 2010, Small Business Saturday has raised around £3.5 billion in the U.S alone, with Kettering Borough Council looking to build on the success in this country.
Small Business Saturday is designed to help local traders and businesses, with it occurring on the busiest shopping day of the year - the first Saturday of December.
Guy Holloway, Head of Community Services at Kettering Borough Council, said: “Small independent retailers, businesses and traders are the lifeblood of the communities in which we live and work, and are integral to the health of our economy.
"We are looking forward to showing people what it means to keep trade local, and highlighting the great things Kettering has to offer both to the local community and visitors all year round.”
To promote the campaign Kettering Markets are offering new and existing Traders a stall at £10 a pitch, Pitches can be booked at www.kettering.gov.uk/markets.
As well as Small Business Saturday Kettering on the Catwalk will also be returning with a festive Christmas Fashion Show.
Local stores will be showcasing their cloths at 12pm on the catwalk on the High Street. Stores include:
Next, Marks and Spencer, Dorothy Perkins, Officers Club, Body Shop, Peacocks, Roman Originals, Oxfam, Extra Care, Cransley Hospice, Laura Ashley, Bon Marche, Toni and Guy, M&Co, TK Maxx and Select.
