Thursday 27th June 2024

Hi ,

Well, many of us have been waiting for fine weather and here it is, and it's HOT!
Of course we don't really know how long it will last, but with many outdoor events coming up, Dr Simon encourages you to suncream up, wear a hat, drink loads of water and ENJOY!

And if you've got 'election blues'  and can't wait for it all to be over (just one more week!!), why not take a break from the telly and enjoy the outside world, whether it be a car boot sale, an Artisan Fair on Saturday or the brilliant BLASTON SHOW on Sunday.

And then of course the CLASSIC CAR SHOW comes to Harborough town centre the following week (July 7th) and that's 'a must' for everyone's diary.

Please scroll down this page and see this week's selection of brilliant local offers from recommended businesses in Market Harborough, including generous deals from  HAN CHINESE, TASTE SOCIAL, EVEREST LOUNGE restaurants to name just a few.

The SALE IS ON at JACKS FOR WOMEN, or if you need some building work done on your roof, ask about DJ's PROPERTY MAINTENANCE's great deal, and especially while the weather's this good.

PRINTS & FRAMES offer 'Bespoke Framing' and a very generous 40% discount off RRP on 'hundreds' of printed pictures. You've probably seen their letter in your post box recently.

Read some great articles and then find loads of upcoming events in and around our region including some of DUNCAN'S special July events and of course his regular Free Tasting this Saturday 29th June (from 12noon - 3pm) with selected wines to celebrate a 'Tour de France' theme, all brought to you by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local.

Have a great Blaston Show and week ahead,

Simon

Brookside Dental

A highly rated independent NHS (children) and Private Dental Practice in Market Harborough, specialising in general dentistry with additional services including Teeth Straightening, Facial Aesthetics, and Dental Implants.


We found brookside and the wonderful Dr Ravi about 2 years ago. My daughter, Leah, then 15 has real issues with her teeth. She is missing several and was bullied dreadfully as a result.
Ravi was the first dentist who immediately had a plan. He referred us on to an orthodontist and together, they have worked miracles.
Leah has the most amazing smile now, she has no gaps and her confidence has grown massively.
We are all jealous of her smile and are saving to have ours done!

I genuinely cannot thank Dr Ravi enough. Also massive thanks to the wonderful Evie on reception who always did her best to find us an appointment. I cannot recommend Brookside highly enough.

Blackberry Hill Carpets & Flooring

Blackberry Hill Carpets & Flooring in Market Harborough is the long established buyer's tradesman for all types of quality carpets, flooring and professional fitting for the home or business premises.


Flawless from start to finish. Gareth was incredibly generous with his advice, even when it meant we might choose a less expensive flooring option—a rare quality in sales. Paul was helpful and accommodating throughout, while Craig’s efficiency and attention to detail in fitting the flooring were outstanding. He genuinely cared about getting it right and ensuring we were happy with the result. Would highly recommend for LVT flooring.

Time To Time

Market Harborough's Largest Independent Stockists of Wall Clocks, Alarm Clocks, Pendulum Clocks, Mantel Clocks, Watches, Childrens' Watches - all Accessories and Repairs.


My wife has a 28 year old Breitling that we bought in Barbados for our 25th wedding anniversary. She wears it 24 hours a day. It has never missed a beat until recently when it stopped. As it is a 'Jolly Posh' watch we took it to the Breitling shop in Leicester who sent it off to their official repair place. We had an email from them. Basic repair cost £1800. That's without any warranty. Full repairs including new glass and replacement diamond £4,000 - ish. No thanks, I can buy a good watch for that. We brought it to Time to Time and the fault turned out to be that previously, Timsons had fitted a battery that was too thin and didn't quite touch the contacts properly. The lovely man (sorry I forget his name) at Time to Time saw this and fitted a new battery, a millimeter thicker than the old one. Now the watch is ticking away just like new. £1,795 saved. Anyone who posts less than five stars here needs a visit to the Geriatric Neurological department of their hospital.
