TOP TIPS

Christmas

COUNTDOWN TO

Here are some our top tips for your best Christmas ever!

@LoveCamberley #LoveCamberley

One less stress…

The main attraction

Show stopping desserts

Ordered something online?

There’s no need to hang around at home hoping to catch the delivery driver – you can collect parcels from CollectPlus at the Customer Service Desk in The Square, or pick up your Amazon deliveries at The Atrium’s Amazon lockers (you can pick up your Amazon parcels from Next on Park Street too!).

Easy peasy!

If you like a roast turkey and all the trimmings, why not shop local this year?

Tillingbourne Farm is in the heart of the Surrey Hills, and attends the Farmers’ & Artisan Market on Park Street on the 3rd Saturday of every month. Pop by their stall on Saturday 16th November and you can place your order with them ready for collection in December.

If you’ve got the family coming over for Christmas, and you want to wow them with a centrepiece dessert, our top tip would be to head to Lidl; their festive dessert range includes this mouthwatering espresso martini roulade (filled with coffee and vodka-flavoured cream – yum!)

Discovery DAY

We have a date for your diary!

On Saturday 7th December, Camberley town centre is taking part in a national campaign to help celebrate and support its independently owned businesses – called Small Business Saturday.

With more than 70 small businesses in the town centre, we’re inviting you to come into town on 7th December and pop into a store that you’re never visited before!

We know that it’s easy to get into a pattern when you visit town – from where you park to where you shop – so, why not call it a discovery day, and see what gems you can find?

“Camberley really is a very special place our town centre is made up of a wide range of vibrant and diverse businesses, and we are excited to be taking part in this national campaign to help celebrate our local independents. We’ll be showcasing all of your favourite small businesses on our website, as well as through social media in the run-up to the day itself, and if you come into town on 7th December, you’ll discover some great events and offers taking place.

We hope to see you there!”
