Village Xmas Present Ideas

We all have an excellent opportunity to give great Christmas presents to our loved ones, and at the same time support our local Milford on Sea village businesses.

We will be celebrating everything that is great about the village at Love Milford Week in February (www.lovemilfordweek.org), but in the meantime, why not buy all your Christmas gifts and goodies locally, and at the same time show our village shops that you love them!
