Great offers for Rochdale shoppers as independent businesses join forces for Fiver Fest fortnight

Date published: 05 October 2022

Rochdale shoppers are in for a treat as the Totally Locally Fiver Fest comes to town again (8-22 October) to celebrate independent shops and businesses.

Over 100 towns and thousands of businesses across the UK are joining together again to bring special £5 spending offers, to highlight the contribution to the economy that local shops and businesses bring. It is also an opportunity for those businesses to say “thank you” to their loyal customers who continue to support them.

Fiver Fest is based around the Totally Locally £5 message: "If every adult in Rochdale spent just £5 per week in their local independent shops and businesses, it would mean £21million per year going directly into our local economy. Which can lead to more jobs, a better high street, a stronger economy and a nicer place to live."
