What is National Newsagent Week?
The second National Newsagent Week will take place Saturday 23rd May to Saturday 30th May 2020. The event is an opportunity for the community to come together and show their appreciation of their local newsagent and the contribution they make to the local area, and for newsagents across the country to celebrate and thank their customers.

Your Newsagent, Your Community Heartbeat
There’s more to your local newsagent than access to news and lotteries. Your community concierge – you’ll find a range of hard-to-come-by services, not to mention a selection of items for sale you’d be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.
Newsagents have been getting behind the communities they serve for decades: giving back and bringing people together. So, support your local newsagent, and be a part of something bigger.
