Aldeburgh: Independent shops to be celebrated with three day event
Aldeburgh Independents Day to celebrate their Independent shops
Shopkeepers, retailers and restaurateurs are gearing up for a celebration of their high street.
After the success of last year’s inaugural Independents Day, traders in Aldeburgh are preparing for a three-day extravaganza.
The event will run from July 4 to July 6 and is supported by the town’s business association.
It is spearheaded by Sue Fletcher, of ladies fashion boutique Caramel, and Claire Bruce-Clayton, of Lawson’s Delicatessen.
She said: “We have a lot of independent retailers in Aldeburgh which helps to create a great sense of community.

“The second day of the campaign will be focused on supporting charities, demonstrating that our independent retailers recognise the importance of supporting good causes.
