In the Cotswolds we’re known for natural beauty and chocolate box village scenes. And, yes, we do have all that going for us, but we’re so much more!

The true heart of our region lies within its vibrant community. Our people are our soul, and among our people are independents, artisans, and local growers who make a living out of creating, producing, and growing in and from the Cotswolds.

Shop Local, Shop Cotswolds

By choosing to shop locally, we go beyond simply discovering unique and high-quality products. We actively contribute to a more sustainable future for all and a thriving local economy. This extends beyond visiting charming boutiques and browsing local markets. Choosing locally sourced ingredients for our meals at restaurants and pubs directly supports local farmers and producers. Selecting the services of a local tradesperson or opting for a locally brewed beer at the pub, contribute to a stronger, more resilient local economy.

By supporting local businesses and choosing local options whenever possible, we not only enjoy the benefits of high-quality products and services but also contribute to a more sustainable and prosperous future for the entire Cotswolds region.

THE BEST ANTIQUES SHOPS

From quaint antique shops to sprawling auction houses, visitors can explore a wide range of antique items here.

ANTIQUES ARE GREEN

Beyond the shops

When locals and visitors make the choice to purchase from independent shops, artisans, and local producers, the money they spend stays within the Cotswolds community. This ripple effect has a profound impact, supporting local farmers, makers, and businesses. Every purchase at an independent shop, every meal enjoyed at a Cotswold pub serving locally sourced ingredients, and every handcrafted item acquired from a local artisan directly contributes to the region’s economic prosperity.  

Supporting local businesses creates a virtuous cycle. By choosing local, we contribute to a thriving local workforce as local businesses provide employment opportunities within the community. Every pound spent locally circulates within the community, boosting the local economy and supporting other businesses. Choosing local products often means supporting sustainable practices and reducing our carbon footprint.

Also, shopping locally fosters a sense of community and connection, allowing us to build relationships with the people who produce the goods we consume and to appreciate the unique character of our region.
