Your Local Experiences

What Your Local Experiences does

Your Local Experiences Limited (company number 16704992) is a UK private company incorporated in 2025 and headquartered at the Innovation Centre, Hornbeam Park Avenue, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. The company operates an online voucher marketplace that connects consumers with discounted local experiences — including days out, spa days, afternoon tea, food and drink, activity days, overnight stays, health and beauty, events, school holidays, sports, and retail — supplied by independent third-party UK providers.

The platform is a standard self-serve e-commerce storefront (yourlocalexperiences.com) with no mobile app, no public API, and no proprietary technology disclosed beyond a transactional core that processes payments via credit/debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay and delivers vouchers as PDF documents with unique redemption codes by email. Discovery relies on category, occasion (Birthday, Anniversary, Couples, Corporate, etc.), and location (North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Manchester, Derbyshire, Cumbria, Wales, Scotland) filtering, with marketing run through an email newsletter (offering a 10% first-order incentive), Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok organic social, and promotional codes such as DAYS15.

Commercially, Your Local Experiences acts as a disclosed commercial agent: it markets and sells discount vouchers (typically 15-50% off face value, ranging from ~£10 to ~£1,800 per SKU) on behalf of third-party suppliers and earns revenue on the spread between the discounted voucher price paid by the consumer and the face value redeemed with the supplier. The company is privately held, founder-led by Managing Director Ben Groom, with no disclosed external investors, headcount, or revenue.
