Love Stur – Meet the faces behind the places

Love Stur: New Initiative Celebrates the People Behind Sturminster Newton’s Local Businesses

A new community initiative, Love Stur, is launching to shine a spotlight on the people, passion and connections that make Sturminster Newton’s local economy thrive.

The initiative is designed to celebrate not just individual businesses, but the strong network of relationships that keeps the town vibrant and resilient.

“Love Stur is about people supporting people,” said a spokesperson for the initiative. “By giving local businesses, a platform to share their stories — and to highlight other businesses they value — we’re encouraging residents to shop local and strengthening the sense of community that makes Sturminster Newton special.”

Features will be shared weekly through local channels, creating an ongoing series that introduces residents to familiar faces and hidden gems across the town. From independent retailers and service providers to charities and community organisations, Love Stur aims to be inclusive and representative of the full range of local enterprise.

The initiative hopes to inspire residents to discover new places, revisit old favourites, and continue supporting local businesses whenever possible.
