“We want everyone attending to embrace #ShopLocal – we have so many wonderful local businesses here in Accrington and this is a fantastic opportunity to celebrate them.”

Lauren and Rachel, owners of Finch Bakery, commented: “We can’t wait to be involved in the #AmazingAccrington Christmas Light Switch On. We are so proud to be headlining an amazing Christmas Market at Accrington Market alongside so many other local businesses. See you there!”
