Chri s t m as M a d e Po s s i b l e
We may not know exactly what will be on offer when you visit, but we guarantee the welcome will be warm, the coffee will be freshly poured and your safety and comfort will be top of our list. Guidance allowing, we would love you to spend some time exploring the amazing independent shops, cafes and bars of Perth and the wider area. But, before you travel, please check Gov.Scot for the most up to date guidance on Covid-19 restrictions, both for our area and your own. For our part, we will endeavour to ensure our website and online directory has the most up-to-date info on our shops, eateries and bars including how to book in advance. Should restrictions stop travel altogether we would urge you to keep that Shop Local inspiration by browsing the websites and online offers from our independent shops. We’ve highlighted all of the gifts available to buy online throughout this guide. We hope to see you very soon.
