When it is and what is on.

The annual UK-wide Small Business Saturday is taking place on Saturday 7 December.

The national event is about supporting Bristol's small businesses who are a vibrant and key part of our city.

It's been another tough year for traders and our small independent businesses have shown remarkable resilience, innovation and adaptation.

Show your support for all their hard work by shopping locally this winter and taking part in the Small Business Saturday events.

Find out more on the Small Business Saturday website.
