ABOUT TOTALLY LOCALLY
Totally Locally is something special.
It started out as a small idea in the North of England and has grown into a multi-award-winning worldwide movement. Groups of volunteers in towns and areas use our Town Kit, following guidelines and using templates and a full event strategy, and use it to make their town a stronger, more vibrant & resilient place. And all we ask in return in that if they come up with a new idea, it is shared with everyone else.
There is now a network of Totally Locally Towns across the world, sharing ideas, working together and making a difference to their independent businesses.
It works. It has been proven from Yorkshire to London to New Zealand. A new vibrancy, a spirit of cooperation, and a better Independent High Street.
NATIONAL FIVER FEST
We run the very great FIVER FEST 3 times a year. It’s a big celebration of the small businssses and shops that make up the high streets and communities across the UK that make our towns special.
This October we are thrilled to have over 100 towns taking part! Thousands of businesses putting on £5 special deals, promoting each other and, quite frankly, getting a little over excited!
Our message – spending just £5 per week in your local independent shops and businesses makes a huge difference to your town or High Street!
And even better – this Fiver Fest is supported by Visa, helping us to push the message even further!

OUR NEW PROJECT – YOUR LOCAL INDEPENDENT HIGH STREETS – ONLINE
We believe the future of our independent high streets is a mixture of bricks & mortar businesses and an online presence.
Government research shows that people want to support their local towns & buinesses, but in these restrictive times 67% of them want to check online what is on sale, before they even set foot in a shop! Times are changing.
So this is our solution. Your town’s local businesses all in one place on its own site, where you can browse your local businesses (just like on your real high street) buy from multiple shops with one payment at checkout, then choose click & collect or a delivery option.
Towns are now signing up, with the first, Hebden Bridge launched with businesses uploading their product. September.
We have a waiting list of over 30 towns, so your town may be coming soon!
