Published 30 October, 2013

More than a dozen quality shops in Much Wenlock will be offering extended opening hours from the beginning of November until Christmas.

Much Wenlock Late Night Opening Christmas 2013

From Thursday November 7th, every week, you will be able to enjoy shopping in this vibrant, medieval market town until 7pm. Many of the shops will be offering late night hospitality such as mulled wine, and some of the cafés will help refresh you if you're feeling peckish, with late night snacks and hot drinks.

A wide variety of shops will be open, including Wenlock Deli, The Old Smoothie, Penny Farthing, Margaret's, Lady Bertie's, No. 63, Much More Books, Wenlock Books, Croft Design, The Copper Kettle, Wenlock Fine Art and Twickel House. You will be able to buy chocolate specialties from Mrs P's sweetshop; fine art and beautiful gifts from Twenty Twenty Gallery; floral gifts from Colours and unique knitted and craft items from Ippikin. You can even enjoy a glass of mulled wine and a manicure at Salon Ten, a treat for you! The town's five hostelries will be open as usual and the car parks will be free from 6pm.

Local business woman Anna Dreda, of Wenlock Books, said "Local traders in Much Wenlock are really excited about offering late night shopping on a regular weekly basis each Thursday from now until Christmas. Wenlock is a super place for shopping, it's on a small enough scale that you don't get exhausted, yet with enough variety that you will be sure to find some very special gifts. There is a really strong movement back to shopping locally and we hope that this will be the year when our money stays in the local economy where we can all benefit from it."

Anyone wanting more information is invited to visit the Much Wenlock Trader's Page on Facebook or to contact any of the above named businesses. You can contact Anna directly on 01952 727877.
