Spend in Wareham and receive a free gift!
From 7th- 21st December, selected shops and businesses in the town will be giving you a gift! Make the qualifying spend in any one of the participating shops, and you will be rewarded with a voucher to spend in another business in Wareham.
Vouchers include generous money off discounts as well as free gifts or services. Keep spending around the town and you will soon fill up your Christmas stocking for free! All participating shops will display a poster in their window and the scheme will run to coincide with the free Saturday parking in Wareham.
Fun while you shop!
Fancy winning a Christmas hamper worth over £50? Take part in the Christmas letter trail between 7th and 21st December and you could be in with a chance. Pop into any shop displaying the Christmas poster in their window to collect an application form. In each participating shop, a special present marked with a letter will be hidden either in the window or inside the shop. Find the letter and make a note of it on your application form. When you have found all the letters put them together to work out the special sentence and deliver your completed form to Discover Purbeck in the library or Purbeck Living. The winner will be drawn on Monday 23rd December.
