🎄 Shop Local in Beccles This Christmas 🎁

Celebrate the season, support your community

As the festive lights shine across Beccles, it’s time to embrace the magic of Christmas on our own high street. This year let’s make Christmas extra special by shopping local and supporting the wonderful independent businesses that make Beccles such a vibrant and unique town.

🌟 A Town Full of Treasures

From unique gifts to delicious local produce, Beccles is full of inspiration for your Christmas list. Stroll along our shopping streets and you’ll find independent boutiques, craft shops, and family-run stores offering thoughtful presents you won’t find online.

  • Open Gardens is a treasure-trove of decorative homeware, fresh flowers with a twist, quirky gifts, something a little different.
  • Get Sassy on Blyburgate is the place to go for those finishing touches or a gift with thought. This independent boutique is full of fashionable finds — from ladies and men’s clothing and accessories to jewellery, bags and shoes — perfect for adding a bit of glamour to your Christmas shopping in Beccles.
  • Harris & James (1a Beccles House, Common Lane North) is a lovely mix of coffee, chocolate and gifts — perfect for a festive indulgence or a handcrafted treat. Don’t forget their new chocolate experience would make a special and unique gift for a loved one.

☕ A Festive Day Out

Shopping in Beccles isn’t just about ticking off your list — it’s an experience. Take a break from browsing to enjoy a warming coffee or hot chocolate in a cosy café, or meet friends for a festive lunch in a local spot.

  • Spindler’s Café is a family-run café offering breakfasts, lunches and homemade cakes — perfect stop-off for a warming treat.
  • Relish Café is cosy, friendly and homemade-focused — ideal for coffee plus something fresh, or a quick bite as you shop.
  • What A Brew Tea is a hidden gem. Tucked away down The Walk, this café offers a more relaxed and somewhat hidden gem feel compared to the main high‑street bustle.

🎁 Small Choices, Big Difference

When you buy local, more of your money stays in the community — helping to support jobs, fund events, and keep our town thriving all year round. Every time you choose a local shop over a big online retailer, you’re making a positive investment in Beccles’ future.

❤️ Make This Christmas a Local One

This Christmas, let’s give back to the people who make Beccles special — the shopkeepers, makers, bakers, and small business owners who welcome us all year long. Shop local, share the joy, and help our town shine.
