County Wexford, known as the Sunny South-East, is a vibrant and dynamic region with a rich cultural and historical heritage. Home to bustling towns such as Wexford, Enniscorthy, New Ross, and Gorey, it has evolved from its strong agricultural and maritime roots into a modern economic hub, with thriving sectors in financial services, technology, manufacturing, food production, hospitality and retail.
To sustain and grow our local economy, we as a county must rally behind and support our retail and hospitality sector. One simple yet impactful way to do this is through the County Wexford Shop Local Gift Card. Originally launched as paper vouchers in September 2020, the scheme has now been upgraded to a Mastercard-backed gift card as of November 2024, making it even more convenient for consumers, businesses, and organisations to keep money circulating within the county - helping to support local jobs, sustain businesses, and strengthen our economy.
Whether you’re shopping in local stores, dining at restaurants, staying in hotels, or exploring the county’s many attractions, the County Wexford Shop Local Gift Card makes it easy to experience the best of what our region has to offer - all while keeping spending local.
