On Small Business Saturday, customers across the UK go out and support all types of small businesses, online, in offices and in stores. Many small businesses take part in the day by hosting events and offering discounts.

Anne Draper, Tenby Town Council’s Community Engagement Officer, would like to encourage local businesses to take part in this event, and would be happy to have suggestions for something that could be organised that lots of businesses could join in with. Send any ideas to [email protected] .

Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to ‘shop local’ and support small businesses in their communities.

Small Business Saturday is once again highlighting 100 small businesses, one a day for 100 days leading up to Small Business Saturday 2023.

The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.

For the last ten years, the 100 have not only received exposure on Small Business Saturday's social media channels and in the local and national press, but also joined the Small Business Saturday team in London at receptions in Downing Street, House of Lords and the Treasury Drum with the Chancellor of the Exchequer.

Applications are now open. They close on June 30, 2023. Successful applicants will be notified by email in August.
