Following on from the success of last year’s Christmas campaign in Royal Tunbridge Wells, local businesses are once again working together to attract visitors to the town. In November and December the town has a number of established festive events and late night shopping, when there will be free parking in all of the Council’s car parks*.
The campaign aims to attract more visitors into Tunbridge Wells, promoting the town as the No.1 destination in the South East to shop, dine and enjoy a range of Christmas activities, including the open air ice skating rink in Calverley Grounds.
Tunbridge Wells Borough Council is supporting the Christmas campaign which is being led by retailers and traders from across Tunbridge Wells and includes Royal Victoria Place, Assembly Hall Theatre, High Street retailers and Pantiles Traders.
Nicky Blanchard, Centre Manager for Royal Victoria Place says: “I’m very excited for Royal Victoria Place to be working with businesses in all areas of Tunbridge Wells this Christmas. I do believe that by working together we have a much stronger offer to tempt new customers to the town”.
The businesses involved to date have all contributed financially to the campaign to promote Tunbridge Wells because they all believe that the combination of independent shops and big high street names, in a charming and historic setting, makes the town a popular destination.
Joe Lloyd, Managing Director of Perk and Pearl, an independent coffee trader says: “As an independent business in Royal Tunbridge Wells, I believe that it is vital that all businesses, big and small, should pull together to embrace everything that this brilliant town has to offer.
We have a unique offering of places to shop, eat, work and stay and the concept of working together ensures that Royal Tunbridge Wells is at the top of the list of places to visit during the festive season.”
