This Saturday is Small Business Saturday, which supports and celebrates the millions of small businesses across the UK. To help encourage our residents to ‘shop local’ and support our fantastic small businesses in Hart, we’re offering free parking on Saturday 7 December in all Council car parks.
When you shop from local retailers you benefit your community, and there has never been a better time to support them. Could you purchase Christmas gifts from local retailers across our district or enjoy a meal at one of our excellent independent cafes or restaurants this Small Business Saturday?
The free parking is available between 8am and midnight in all available Hart District Council car parks. A list of included car parks can be found on our parking pages.
If visiting Fleet town centre, that Gurkha Square car park hosts Fleet Market every Saturday and is closed from midnight on Saturday morning until the market is cleared in late afternoon. You can still enjoy free parking in Gurkha Square in the evening to visit the bars and restaurants of Fleet. If visiting the market, the other nearby Council car parks will be free of charge to park for the day.
Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.
The day itself takes place on the first Saturday in December each year, but the campaign aims to have a lasting impact on small businesses.
