A spokesman for Ottery Town Council said: "This year, more than ever, it’s important to support local businesses. By shopping and dining locally, you’re not just ticking items off your Christmas list—you’re helping to sustain the unique shops, services, and experiences that make our community thrive.

"Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to come together, enjoy festive fun, and make a real difference to your town. We can’t wait to see you there.

"Let’s make this Christmas unforgettable—shop local, celebrate together, and spread the cheer."
