Knutsford’s own high street voucher has had a makeover, with a new £20 voucher launched too.
The Knutsford Voucher was launched in 2020 with a simple idea: don’t buy an Amazon or Love2Shop voucher, instead buy a gift voucher that gets spent in Knutsford and goes direct to local shop owners and into the town’s economy.
Sandra Curties, Knutsford Town Council’s Town Centre Manager said:
“The scheme is a cost-effective way to direct spend to our town’s independent shops, bars, cafes, and restaurants. We have redesigned the £10 voucher and added a £20 option. Both of these reflect our new Discover Knutsford branding, and the £5 voucher will soon follow suit.”
“We have also added a beautiful gift card, and these will be posted out with the vouchers making a perfect gift!”
A full list of business accepting the voucher can be found on the town council’s website alongside how to purchase vouchers. A broad selection of businesses accepts the vouchers including Flock of Arts, Detaljer, Arthur Lee, Hal Whittaker, and Knutsford Olde Sweet Shop.
In the autumn you will also be able to purchase them on the council’s tourism focused sister-site:
Omar Ashlan owner of Amador on King Street, who has recently signed up to the scheme, said:
“I am delighted to accept the Knutsford voucher. The scheme is a great way to support local businesses and keep spend local. As an additional incentive Amador will be offering 15% off any purchase paid or part paid by a Knutsford voucher. So, if you have some to spend pop down and visit us on King Street!”
Vouchers can also now be spent at Cheshire Granite worktops.
Co-owner Donna O’Keefe co-owner said,
“Not only are we going to accept the vouchers, but we are going to offer them as a thank you gift to customers. We are based on Stanley Road and love supporting our fellow Knutsford businesses”
The scheme is administered by the Town Council with businesses receiving 100% of the face value of vouchers redeemed in their shops.
King Street’s Lanigan and Hulme has also signed up to accept the voucher, Phil Lanigan said:
“The Knutsford voucher is the perfect gift anytime of the year! We are excited to be part of the scheme. Our shop is full of womenswear, childrenswear and menswear that is solely made in the UK and Ireland so if you have a voucher come down and visit us on 23 King Street.”
Laura Christie co-owner of foodie haven Linden Stores on Minshull Street said:
'We will be celebrating our first year in Knutsford this autumn and we love being part of this vibrant market town. We are more than happy to be part of this scheme so if you are looking for a unique present for someone, buy some Knutsford vouchers!'

Please note only Knutsford based shops (not surrounding villages) can take the vouchers.
