This exciting new initiative brings together the best of local businesses, offering exclusive discounts, rewards, and special offers to cardholders. For anyone living in Cornwall, the Gold Card helps you shop local, save money, and support the vibrant St Ives community.
What is the St Ives Gold Card?
The St Ives Gold Card is a BID (Business Improvement District) initiative, providing cardholders with a host of benefits across a wide range of participating businesses. From independent shops and boutiques to cafés, restaurants, and leisure activities, the card unlocks unique deals that make living and spending in St Ives even more rewarding. All profits from card sales go back into the St Ives community, with businesses voting on how funds are used.
With the cost of living on everyone’s minds, The St Ives Gold Card is a great way to enjoy the town while keeping an eye on your budget. Whether you’re grabbing a coffee, booking a meal out, or looking for a special gift, your Gold Card helps you get more for your money.
How does it work?
Signing up for the St Ives Gold Card is simple. For just £5, you’ll receive a Gold Card to use at more than 50 businesses in town. Show your card at checkout or when booking a service to enjoy a minimum of 10% off. New deals and promotions are regularly updated, ensuring there’s always something fresh to discover.
Local businesses benefit, too! The scheme increases their visibility and encourages more people to shop locally, helping sustain our independent traders and keeping St Ives a thriving destination.
The list of participating businesses is growing all the time. So far, cardholders enjoy discounts at St Ives’ favourite cafés, bars, restaurants and independent & high-street retailers.
