Barnsley Shop Awards

Barnsley Civic Trust gives Shop Awards a boost


Barnsley Civic Trust wants to promote an exciting, vibrant and pulsating town centre. We work with local partners to deliver an award for town centre shops and businesses such as cafés and restaurants, recognising business skills, innovation, architectural design, and the impact of window displays on the street scene.
