A brand new pocket-sized guide providing residents and visitors with an A-Z guide to Burnham-On-Sea’s shops is to be launched in May.
Burnham-On-Sea Chamber Of Trade Chairman John Edwards, pictured below with fellow members, officially unveiled the brochure this week at the group’s AGM.
75,000 copies of the guide are to be printed and then distributed across the region’s tourist information centres, shops, motorway services, pubs and holiday parks in time for the busy summer season.
“Local residents and visitors often say they are unaware of what Burnham has to offer, so we’ve decided to clearly outline the vast range of goods and services on offer here,” John told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“The new Shopper’s Guide has been designed to encourage more shopping in our town. We plan on issuing the guide by the end of the May.”
The guide, available free of charge, will shine the spotlight on some of the 100 or so independent shops in the town. The guide opens up to an A3 broadsheet showing all the major roads, businesses, facilities and attractions in an eye-catching format.
The centre spread features a large, freehand drawn map of the town centre featuring major roads, toilets and car parks. All the images have been drawn by local artist Judith Champion.
There are still a few last remaining advertising spaces to fill and prospective advertisers can get in contact with the Chamber Of Trade via their Web page on Burnham-On-Sea.com.
