Experience Salisbury, a new website showcasing the city's history, heritage, art and culture, is now live.

The project is jointly funded by a new partnership between Salisbury BID, Salisbury City Council, Salisbury Cathedral, Salisbury Hospital and Wiltshire Creative.

Visitors and residents can access the site to find out what's on, where to eat and what activities to do.

There will be an event calendar, directory full of shops, restaurants, hotels as well as professional and local services.

It will act as a community hub for local news, blogs and information for residents.

Robin McGowan, Chief Executive of Salisbury BID said: "The BID feels this is a much-needed collaborative platform to help support and promote businesses through this time of recovery. This is why we have not just helped to fund the Experience Salisbury website but have also led the project on behalf of businesses and partners.

"We continue our work to create a thriving city and I would encourage any business that isn't already on the website to get involved and take advantage of this promotional opportunity."

This Salisbury project partnership was born in the aftermath of the Novichok events in 2018 and has been carried forward throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

It was in 2019, after an extensive consultation, that the new 'Traditional Original' brand was developed for the city to shine the spotlight on Salisbury's unique combination of old and new.

It will be seen on a number of exciting new initiatives set to be unveiled across the summer months, as well as to raise the profile of the city going forward.

INVOLVE YOUR BUSINESS

Businesses in Salisbury are invited to join the new website and can be listed in the directory free of charge, or can pay for an enhanced listing.

If your business isn't already listed, you can upload your information here.

Due to Salisbury BID's (Business Improvement District) investment in the project, all BID levy payers have received an enhanced business listing on the Experience Salisbury website for free.
