No. Be a Localite isn’t a marketplace. It’s a free discovery guide that helps people find and support independent businesses and experiences nearby.

Be a Localite is dedicated solely to independent, community-based places. Every listing is there to help people reconnect with what’s genuinely local.

Businesses can join for free by creating a profile. They’ll be able to feature their story, and add tags such as “Zero Waste”, or “British Sourced” for smart searchability.
What kinds of places are included?
We feature independent and community-minded businesses, think: cafés, bakeries, farm shops, delis, refill stores, florists, and more. Any place that contributes to local connection.

Through an interactive map, smart search, and business tags like “Zero Waste”, “Women Owned”, or “Handmade”. Users can also save favourites and explore local events.
