Competition prizes and sponsors
This year, our prizes are all about raising the profile of the amazing shops, restaurants, and businesses right here in the district - the places you can support instead of shopping online or heading further afield.
Why? Because where we choose to spend our money at Christmas really matters.
Every year UK households spend an average of £602 on Christmas gifts alone - if even a fraction of that goes to local businesses, the impact can be huge.
Studies show that for every £1 spent with a small or medium-sized business, around 63p stays in the local economy, compared to just 40p when spent at larger chains or online retailers.
So this year, we're encouraging everyone to shop local, eat local, and support local - and we’ve got some brilliant prizes donated by local businesses to highlight the fantastic gifts and experiences you can find locally, and to give you a boost when January hits!
To be in with a chance to win one of these great prizes, just enter our competition by Sunday 4 January 2026 at midnight.
