Hi *|FIRSTNAME|*,

Welcome to this week's newsletter.

I know the weather's rubbish, and the budget's on its way but hey, what's new? We could be living in Florida (or much worse)!

And, there's Halloween to look forward to (for some!), and that means 'PUMPKINS', scary costumes, and frightening us old folk out of our skin! And the fun starts this Saturday when the annual PUMPKIN FESTIVAL begins at FARNDON FIELDS. It's when you can book your day of pumpkin picking and have loads of fun at the same time. Scroll down for more information or click on the image below.

And see our events page for more Halloween events at East Carlton Park, Rockingham Castle and more as they get uploaded in the next week or two.

Not surprisingly, there's loads going on this month at the DUNCAN MURRAY WINES 'camp', all revealed here in their current 'WHAT'S UP DOCtober' newsletter here which I urge you to read - it's very entertaining and of course informative. All details of forthcoming FREE Saturday wine tastings, OCTO-BAR, and NOVEM-BAR opening times, and WSET wine courses are all included.

Are you looking to take up a new hobby or social activity? I had the pleasure of meeting Peter Oppenheimer, a committee member of MARKET HARBOROUGH BRIDGE CLUB (the card game) last week. And he told me they are welcoming new members of all abilities - beginners to experienced - and said it was a great social occasion for everyone attending. If you're interested, scroll down to our EVENTS SECTION to find out more from either their comprehensive website or by contacting Peter.

Please scroll down the page and take a peek at some great local offers from a few of the best recommended independent businesses in Market Harborough and find a selection of upcoming events in and around the region, brought to you by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local.

Have a brilliant week!

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.
