KILKEEL SHOPPING | DINING | DISCOUNTS 28th November - 31st December 2019

Seasons Greetings I wish you a very warm welcome to Kilkeel this festive season. With over 60 local independent shops showcasing the unlimited choice, quality, great customer service and excellent value for money offered, Kilkeel has it all wrapped up this Christmas.

This year as part of the Dickens Day celebrations, organisers Kilkeel Chamber of Commerce in partnership with Kilkeel Development Association have teamed up with the ‘Make it Local’ campaign. The event supports and celebrates the unique contribution that local businesses and community groups make to our town and I would encourage local people to support this initiative and continue to shop and stay local.

Reflecting on 2019, Kilkeel Chamber of Commerce successfully set up and hosted Farmers Markets in the town centre as well as helping local businesses through delivering social media classes and first aid training. We have further developed our ties with local community groups and hope to build on these in the future.

Plans for 2020 are already in place with the ‘Bee Kind High Street’ and ‘Access for All’ initiatives coming into fruition at the start of the year. Through these projects we aim to instil a sense of pride in our community and develop a welcoming town centre for local people and tourists alike.

On behalf of Kilkeel Chamber of Commerce, I would like to thank all the businesses who have once again supported Dickens Day and the main sponsors Newry, Mourne and Down District Council and Collins Aerospace for their continued support.

I would like to wish all the local community a very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Alan Knox Alan Knox, President Kilkeel Chamber of Commerce
