A lovely tale for Christmas

A heart-warming Christmas tale with an important message has arrived in Denbighshire.

The two-minute festive film has been produced by the Council to showcase the wide range of local shops in the county.

The clip features the story of a family completing their Christmas shopping in Denbighshire with all gifts bought from local traders.

It also features students from Denbigh Stagecoach performing arts school singing at St Asaph Cathedral and stars Carys, a bespoke bear which was made by Sarah Chapman of Bilberry Bears in Llandegla.

The film has been released on the Council’s YouTube channel and is also being shared across social media.

Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, said: “The Council is proud to be supporting local businesses with this festive shopping video.

“This is a fantastic film with a heart-warming story and a really important message – shop locally this Christmas.

“All the businesses featured are based in Denbighshire and the film shows the huge range of products and services available in the county.

“Shopping locally is an enjoyable experience and firms offer a friendly and professional face-to-face service and go that extra mile for their customers.

“As a Council we want to see local businesses succeed as this ensures money spent locally stays in Denbighshire and helps create a thriving economy.

“The Council would like to thank all the residents and businesses of Denbighshire who made this film possible.”

The video has been produced as part of the Council’s Economic and Community Ambition Programme which is delivering 16 high priority projects to support businesses in the county and attract further inward investment to Denbighshire.
