On Thursday 16th of May businesses across Gloucestershire came together at the Stroud Sub Rooms to reveal the 2024 winners in the seventh instalment of the SoGlos Awards! Voted by SoGlos readers and Attwoolls customers, Attwoolls Outdoors we're proud to be nominated in two categories; Independent Retailor and Shopping & Leisure destination of the year.

As an independent business based in Whitminster, we have been supplying the community and beyond for nearly 100 years! Our shop might have changed a bit since the start but selling good quality, outdoor leisure products for families had always been at the heart!

Unfortunately we didn't take the trophy in either categories this year, but nethertheless enjoyed chatting to other finalists and celebrating with like-minded businesses.
