It's Indie Month! 

The Brunel in Swindon is encouraging shoppers to support their local businesses this July

 

When The Brunel asked customers what they wanted to see more of, the answer was resounding - ‘more independent shops, more diverse shops, shops that are different’.

 

And The Brunel has certainly responded.

 

Now home to 21 independent retailers, The Brunel recently welcomed I Wok and Veron Patisserie to the fold.

 

From vintage and retro clothes stores, service providers for hair and beauty, clothes alterations and photography, there really is something for everybody at The Brunel.

 

 

Money well spent

 

And best of all, for every £1 spent, around 50p - 70p of that money recirculates back into the town!

 

So why not come and support your local independents this July.
