Shop local with Seaton Nub News' virtual Christmas market!

The Christmas season is upon us and to give our local traders a boost, Axminster Nub News has launched a Virtual Christmas Market to encourage more shoppers to the high street.

We'll be regularly updating this list of local businesses throughout December and promoting it on our social media pages. It's completely free to take part for all independent businesses in the Axminster and Seaton areas.

Simply send us details of what you're offering in the run-up to Christmas - any new products, special offers, festive menus, opening hours, etc. - and we'll promote them free of charge!

Send your details to [email protected] to join the Virtual Christmas Market, or call 07810 221 420.
