Shopping in Weston-super-Mare
If it’s shopping opportunities you’re after, then Weston-super-Mare’s town centre has plenty to offer.
After re-opening from the Covid-19 pandemic, a film was created by local filmmaker, Sally Low, showcasing 14 independents as part of the ‘Welcome back to your High Street’ campaign, funded by the ERDF. It’s a beautiful film and we hope you enjoy it! SuperWeston commissioned this atmospheric film to give you an idea of how the town re-awakened after the pandemic closures. The Opening by Sally Low
