New website holds the key to ‘secret club’ of Wiltshire’s independent producers and experiences
Local Uncovered creator Sam Bertram
The keys to a ‘secret club’ of Wiltshire producers and experiences are being handed to residents and tourists alike, in the form of a new discovery website.
Local Uncovered gives visitors information about dozens of independent, small-scale producers, spanning a wide range of goods from food and drink to art, fashions and homewares.
Meanwhile, featured businesses – the site’s ‘members’ – are encouraged to share the hidden secrets of their own communities, from unmapped walks to quirky events: providing an alternative tourist information service for locals and visitors.

Four pounds later, Gefangeme Liebe – or Prisoner of Love – was his. But it was at another charity shop that Mr Dyer this week learnt the true value of his bargain.
For the picture was painted in 1995 by the Georgian contemporary artist Zaza Tuschmalischvili, whose work can fetch hundreds – even thousands – of pounds at auction.
