Leeds suburb launches late-night shopping drive to back local retailers this Christmas
A group of independent retailers in a north Leeds suburb is urging people to shop local this festive season.
Business owners in Chapel Allerton have joined forces to launch a community-led late-night shopping event in the suburb.
Taking place on Saturday, December 4, the event will showcase the neighbourhood's diverse mix of independent shops, venues and makers, encouraging residents to shop local this Christmas.
Businesses will stay open longer, while residents and visitors can expect exclusive seasonal offers, window displays, pop-up stalls selling local crafts and live music. There will also be family-friendly activities and giveaways.
Jo McBeath, owner of local gift shop and workshop space Chirpy, said: “Chapel Allerton has a unique set-up and a brilliant independent spirit.
“We want to make this the best festive season yet and show our local community - and shoppers from further afield - just how much we can offer.
“Pop in, explore, and discover the amazing people and businesses that make this area so special.”
