Earlier in the year the Town Clerk put Crediton forward to take part in the Small Business Saturday tour and was delighted to find out the bid was successful.

On November 20, Mat and Josh from Small Business Saturday visited Crediton to celebrate the fantastic range of small businesses the town has to offer.

Small Business Saturday is part of a year-round national movement championing the small support small and local business businesses that support our communities and economy.

During their visit, the team toured the High Street and stopped by at Moto Velo, CJ Interiors, Paint Pots and Kirton Games.

You can see all of the clips and images from the day on Small Business Saturday's Facebook and Instagram pages.

It was a brilliant day and the Town Council looks forward to continuing to celebrate the amazing businesses that make Crediton a welcoming place to shop and visit.
