Local gift vouchers remain a practical choice, but they also carry wider benefits. Money spent this way stays in the town, helping independent businesses through the quieter winter period while giving recipients flexibility and choice.
Old Town offers a broad range of vouchers across food, drink, beauty, retail and experiences. Most can be bought quickly in store, with several also available online, making them ideal for those short on time.
Unlike many national schemes, these vouchers are not limited to the festive period. Most can be used throughout the year, turning a December purchase into a future meal, treatment or social visit when the pace of life slows down.
