#MyHiddenGems
Local cafes, restaurants, attractions and night-time venues will be celebrated through a new campaign throughout the summer, to help raise the profile of small businesses.
The FSB campaign is encouraging the public to share their favourite businesses across social media, tagging the business if they have a handle, and sharing it with all their friends and followers.

Encourage your customers, followers, friends and family to get involved. You can also shout out your favourite businesses to support the sector! Use the hashtag #MyHiddenGems

Tag in Visit Harborough on social media and we will share as well.

Make your business accessible
One in five people in the UK have an impairment, which may affect where they choose to stay or visit. Improving your accessibility benefits all customers and does not always require major or expensive changes – simply providing a free Accessibility Guide for your venue can help you be more inclusive for people with a wide range of visible and hidden impairments. 

Visit Britain have guidance, tools and resources to help you provide access for all.
