LITTLE BLACK BOOK

We all love rail-hopping but this Christmas, County Square also has the answer to all of your essential needs. Are your favourite party shoes in need of repair? Hot foot it to Timpson and re-sole your shoes, you’ll soon be ready for the dance floor. Want to send the perfect platitudes? Write it on a Christmas card from Card Market or Card Factory. The holidays can be stressful so if you’re giving up smoking make sure you have your vaporiser from Evapo on hand to curb any cravings. If getting away from it all is the only solution, then book your dream destination at TUI or Thomas Cook, and change your sterling at No1 Currency or Nationwide. Who says Christmas isn’t easy?

Keep in the know about County Square and what’s in store by checking out our website or following us on Facebook or Twitter @CountySquare
