Bridport's Fiver Fest returns this Saturday (October 9) and 27 local, independent businesses have signed up.

The town's fifth Fiver Fest runs for two weeks with a range of £5 deals and encourages people to think about how we can all contribute to keeping Bridport a healthy, vibrant town.

It only takes a fiver spent in the right place to make a difference. The message is that if every adult in the town and surrounding villages spent a fiver in independent businesses instead of online or in supermarkets, we could add a whopping £2.6 million to the local economy.

The Fiver Fest event is designed to get you thinking and a chance to discover where you could spend that fiver with opportunities to try something new. You can view the booklet online this year by scanning a QR code in any of the businesses taking part or pick up a paper copy at Bridport Tourist Information Centre.

Look out for Fiver Fest posters and displays in shop windows.
