19/11/21: Launch of Christmas hamper giveaway
19 November 2021

In the run up to Christmas and to launch our new Instagram account – @rosstowncouncil – we will be holding a Christmas Hamper Giveaway on a different theme each week, to support local businesses and showcase the diverse and wonderful array of products and services that the town has to offer.
Launching today (19 Nov), the first giveaway is themed ‘Ross-on-Wye Outdoors’ We all know the physical and mental benefits of being outdoors – whether you’re walking the dog, fishing, cycling, hiking, rambling, playing sports, practicing yoga or just taking a gentle stroll by the riverside. Enjoying the outdoors is the theme of our first giveaway hamper and represents, we feel, some of the best attributes our beautiful town and countryside has to offer. The winner of this giveaway will be announced next Friday and will receive a fantastic selection of items from our outdoors shops which include Fishers, Escape To The Great Outdoors, Mountain Warehouse, Forest Army Surplus, Revolutions and Clubsport.

The hamper will include:
Le Chameau travel dog bowl
Jack Pyke dog coat
Kombat UK walking socks
Mountain Warehouse enamel travel mugs
CamelBak insulated travel bottle
Yoga-Mad HQ yoga mat
HEAD Tennis tennis ball tube
Highlander Outdoor rucksack
Muc-Off bicycle care pack
