News & Events from Devizes Retailers & Independents

Indies Meet-Up – 23rd September 2026

WHAT DO YOU THINK? BRING YOUR IDEAS & LET’S TALK.

How can independent businesses collaborate with one another/other groups? What’s your experience? Are there organisations that should be approached to help independent businesses?

This is an informal meet-up deliberately timed to be after shop closing time in the hope that you can make it. Some actionable plan(s) may come from it – at the very least it’s hoped that you will enjoy making contact with other small business owners.
