In Picture L>R: Joe Worrall, Abbie Fletcher and Casi WorrallNow businesses in the county have celebrated the positive endorsement by the national title, revealing why Shrewsbury is such a 'magical' place in the Winter.
Mike Matthews, owner of the Prince Rupert Hotel in Butcher Row, seconded Christina's view, stating Shrewsbury was a 'magical place' in the winter. "The overall shopping experience in Shrewsbury has become a huge reason for both visiting the town and staying overnight. Especially our abundance of independent shops which offer something unique to any other town centre.
“The town obviously made a significant impression on Christina," he said,"what she also found fascinating were the 660 listed buildings, with a skyline punctuated by spires and steeples; dressed for Christmas it is difficult to beat the atmosphere and delight Shrewsbury exudes. "The town is not only a very pleasant place to be, but we are lucky enough to retain many of our artisan and independent shops, restaurants and coffee houses."
“As the festive period gathers pace, Shrewsbury is a fantastic place to do your Christmas shopping, and Small Business Saturday is a very welcome national campaign to shine a light on the UK’s thriving independent sector.
