Christmas is just around the corner!
The town centre is buzzing, shop windows are looking beautifully festive and the Christmas lights add some extra sparkle.
Whatever you may have on your Christmas list, we are confident you will be able to find it locally. Just click on the festive image above to find a complete A-Z directory of all our town centre businesses. With a wide variety of independent shops, our town centre strikes a great balance of unique gifting and services, alongside some of the best nationals in the country.
In the run up the the big day, there is a huge variety of leisure, food and entertainment options too. If you need any help in finding what you need, then please get in touch with the team here at Hinckley BID (Business Improvement District). Most of our work, and our annual calendar of events, is made possible through funding from local businesses. They are an incredible asset to our community and we are proud to work alongside all of them.
On the businesses behalf, we would like to say, 'Happy Christmas One and All', and a big 'Thank You' for your support in shopping locally, at Christmas and throughout the year. Your loyalty is appreciated!

This Coming Sunday, 3rd December at 10.45am
|
There is still time to register for our annual Festive Family Fun Run. Or, just turn up on the day - 10.45am warm-up in Market Place with our Healthy Elf. 'Fun' is key in this event, a short course of just 0.8 of a mile to cover where you can walk, run or amble. Just remember to wear your best festive fancy dress as prizes will be awarded to those who catch the eagle eye of our judges! If fancy dress is not your thing, then just don your Christmas jumper. Neck medals will be awarded to the first 250 entrants who cross the finish line. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome too.
It could be a cold one, so make sure to dress up warm.
Full details and registration is available via the link below.

Community Safety Survey - Share your views
|
You are invited to share your views on crime and anti-social behaviour in your local area by completing a community safety survey. The views that you share will help improve the work across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to prevent crime and anti-social behaviour and protect communities.
Within Hinckley & Bosworth, resident’s views will help the Community Safety Partnership to have a better understanding of the levels and types of crime and anti-social behaviour, and ensure they focus on issues that are of most concern to residents.
The survey can be accessed on the link below, or by scanning the QR code on the poster above.
Paper copies can be requested from HBBC Community Safety on 01455 238141.
The Community Safety Survey will close on Sunday 17th December 2023.
