Whether you choose to spend your time
in one of the four market towns of Cinderford, Coleford, Lydney
or Newent, or in one of its many delightful outlying villages, the
Forest of Dean offers a good range of small and interesting shops.
The District Council works in partnership with the area’s
businesses to raise awareness of the excellent retail and commercial
opportunities available.
Shoppers are rewarded for spending locally through the popular Forest
Rewards Card scheme, a loyalty card giving the holder special discounts.
The card scheme has over 10,000 members and can be used in approximately
150 businesses. You can get a Forest Rewards Card by visiting the
www.firststoplocalshop.co.uk website.
The ‘First Stop Local Shop’ website also features a
handy online shopping guide to many of the Forest of Dean businesses
and what they sell. Shoppers can search by the type of business
that they are looking for or even a product or service. Almost all
of the area’s 500+ market town traders are featured, plus
a host of quality businesses from the surrounding rural towns and
villages.
Wherever you choose to shop in the Forest, you will find ample car
parking including facilities for coach parties, superb local produce
and surprisingly low prices - the perfect shopping experience!
