For Businesses

We would also like to encourage all of our West End Plymouth businesses to get involved by putting on activities outside of their shops and encourage people to take part. It could be anything from guess the number of sweets in a jar games to decorating your shop front; think simple and covid-safe activities to bring more colour and fun to our streets.

If your business already has something in mind, please get in touch so we can help promote you. Please email: Holly.Reynolds@citycentrebid.co.uk
