THANK YOU FOR MAKING SWBF 2026 SO SPECIAL!

What a day! A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the very first South Wiltshire Business Festival. From our incredible stallholders and visitors to everyone who hosted a Meet the Buyer session, Meet the Employer session or spoke in the main hall, we couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you for bringing the energy, sharing your expertise and helping us celebrate the strength of our local business community.

This is just the beginning… we can’t wait to do it all again bigger and better next year! 🙌

Looking forward to your sweets Simon!

All set for our first ever try at an Expo! South West Businesses Festival run by Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce. Our Business Manager Simon will be there all day to chat and offer sweets as bribes to talk about windows, doors and conservatories. In seriousness, he just wants to enjoy talking to anyone during the day - We're not pushing to sell you something there and then - go and say 'hi!'
