Promoted by Stuart ‘Big Mouth Guildford’ Alexander, in partnership with the town’s independent retailers and supported by Guildford Borough Council and Experience Guildford, the Bank Holiday Bonanza is encouraging residents to “stay local, shop local and eat local” and keep spend in Guildford over the bank holiday weekend.

Amanda Masters, CEO of Experience Guildford, said: “This is an ideal opportunity for the people of Guildford to support the Independents; to say ‘we do love you, we do value you, we do want you to stay around’. And hopefully bag a bargain as well.”
