Love East Lothian summer socials campaign

Look out for a summer social media campaign encouraging East Lothian residents and visitors to Eat, Stay, Play and Shop Local in East Lothian during July and August. 

We know it'll be a busy time of year with the school holidays now underway and events in East Lothian including the Genesis Scottish Open and Fringe by the Sea always attracting huge crowds.

We want to help support our high streets and local businesses both during these busier times and beyond by encouraging people to explore more of what's on offer right here in East Lothian rather than going further afield. It's a great time to visit an old favourite place and re-visit that great local business you've maybe not been to for a while - and discover some new ones along the way!

Along with Visit East Lothian, our Destination Marketing & Management Organisation (DMMO), which is run by our Economic Development team, we will be putting out targeted posts on Visit East Lothian and East Lothian Council social media channels, mainly Facebook and Instagram, but look out on LinkedIn and X as well - using Love Local and Love East Lothian branding and the hashtags #LoveEastLothian #LoveLocal #ShopLocal

Alongside the social campaign, Visit East Lothian has teamed up with Bauer Media on their Schools Out for Summer campaign across Bauer Radio (Tay, Forth and Clyde). Listen out for information on East Lothian and watch out for it on their digital channels too. There's even a chance to win a Visit East Lothian prize bundle including a family pass for Newhailes House, including two children’s passes for Weehailes, a £100 voucher for Foxlake Adventures and a £50 voucher for Archerfield Walled Garden.
