What a spectacular week, Indies Week 2022 was. There was so much to celebrate for our City of Independents between Monday 4th and Friday 8th July. We had a jam packed schedule with business swaps and Instagram lives going ahead and social content covering every day of indies week.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday saw Old Sarum Tattoo and Conker Boutique, Casa Fina and The Old Ale and Coffee House and Artisan Wine and Spirit Co and Miss Tiff's participating in businesses swaps. On Tuesday and Thursday we went to Yoga Stuff and Muse Hairdressing for Instagram Lives!
You can still get City of Independents tote bags from participating shops until July 31st For a full list of where this is available please visit the Experience Salisbury Website.

We were front and centre at the opening of the brand new Premier Fish Ltd fishmonger that opened at 9am on Thursday 26th July. Premier Fish are a wholesale fishmonger from Downtown who have just opened their first high street shop.
Alex Aitken, Chef Patron from The Jetty Hotel at Christchurch cut the ribbon at Premier Fish and the Dean of Salisbury, Very Revd Nicholas Papadopulos, was there to bless the shop.
As a local, independent fishmonger, their fish is sourced from ports and day boats across the UK. Premier Fish Ltd only use reputable suppliers who fully understand the importance of sustainability.
It is wonderful to see such a traditional independent business open on a very traditional street in Salisbury city centre. Premier Fish Ltd have joined Pritchetts Family Butchers and Mauls Wine & Cheese Bar on the aptly named Fish Row and Reeve the Baker opposite on Butcher Row.
