Love will be in the air in Wimborne this Saturday 12 February ahead of Valentine’s Day.

Wimborne BID will be giving out Valentine’s Day cards and other goodies this Saturday as a thank you to shoppers for loving local.

From 12-4pm in Wimborne Square town centre, the BID Team will be joined by a dedicated team of volunteers from the Dorset Volunteer Programme, to give out small gifts, cards and money off coupons from businesses in Wimborne.

BID director, Kyleigh Orlebar, said: “The last two years have been a particularly challenging time for all businesses, but in Wimborne we’ve enjoyed the unwavering support of our communities. We wanted to say thank you on behalf of all of Wimborne’s businesses with a small gift and coupons from businesses themselves.”

Wimborne’s businesses are also supporting Love Local Day in partnership with ShopAppy. You can nominate your favourite local business to get a Love Local Day prize, and enter into a prize draw yourself to win ShopAppy vouchers. Nominations can be made at: shopappy.com/love-local-day-2022.

Chairman of Wimborne BID, Martin Pate, said: “ShopAppy has given customers an opportunity to support local with the convenience online and discover businesses they may not have known were here. We are delighted to support this national campaign to celebrate our wonderful business community.”
