What is Buy British Day?

We celebrate Buy British Day on 3rd October each year to inspire people to support British businesses by choosing products that are designed or made in Britain. Best of Britannia kicked off the annual campaign in 2014, putting a spotlight on local craftsmanship and encouraging shoppers to think about the businesses their spending supports. 

Why does Buy British Day matter?

  • Supports homegrown brands and businesses
  • Celebrates the products proudly designed, crafted, or made closer to home
  • Invites customers to look beyond the product to discover its story, origin & makers
  • Shines a light on the skill & craftsmanship of British products
  • Champions the people, expertise & traditions that help make British products stand out
