Things to do this week: Merry Christmas!

🎄 Merry Christmas 🎄

With Christmas nearly here, we wanted to say a quick thank you.

Local Scoop exists to make it easier to see what’s actually going on locally and to give independent businesses a better chance of being seen. The support from readers has helped shape this into something we’re genuinely proud of.

This time of year is about getting out, catching up, and enjoying what’s on your doorstep, and it’s been great seeing so many of you do exactly that.

This week’s edition is a lighter one as Christmas gets closer, but there’s still plenty worth stepping out for.

Looking ahead to the new year, we’ve got more coming, including a podcast featuring local businesses, charities and community organisations, alongside prize draws and new ways for readers to get involved across the year.

Thanks for reading and backing Local Scoop. Have a great Christmas and we’ll see you in the new year.
