6th March 2025 Hi , I can't deny, I love the month of March and especially if it brings some fresh Spring weather (which it has already). And it seems I'm not alone, enjoying longer days, Spring flowers, maybe a Spring Holiday break for some and the summer months and all its events to look forward to. The Rugby Six Nations Championship returns this weekend when England will take on Italy at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham on Sunday during the penultimate round of the 2025 tournament. But the all important game at Dublin on Saturday between holders Ireland and France will likely be decisive for this years event. Of course you can watch the games on TV at home, but somehow I recommend experiencing the atmosphere at one of several local pubs showing the games, where an accompanying beverage of choice and brazen banter always makes the game that much more exciting! You should give it a try. Enjoy! And on the subject of Six Nations, please see the latest newsletter from 'Mr Fizz HQ' (DUNCAN MURRAY WINES) with up to date news of upcoming events, including Duncan's very own version of 'Six Nations' with the penultimate week of his 'Saturday Wine Tasting' tournament with a FREE 'Taste Off' this week (8th March) between France and Greece. (Just call in to the shop in Adam & Eve Street anytime between 12 noon - 3pm). Also, Wunderbar dates, Blin Champagne offers, 'Spring Sips Masterclass' and news of The Wine School are all featured. You can see it all here!
MOTHER'S DAY is on Sunday 30th March - in case you want to make early arrangements, and not so long after that, it's EASTER weekend 18th - 21st April. Among all the activities that will bring, it's also KELMARSH SHOW weekend (Sunday & Monday), so lots for you to diarise and plan. 'Take a scroll down this page' to see this week's selection of great local offers from some of the best recommended independent businesses in and around Market Harborough. And then find loads of upcoming events from around the region, all brought to you by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local. And finally, at the time of writing this, a few tickets are still available for the 'JAZZ IN THE VILLAGE' concert at Wilbarston Hall on Saturday 17th May featuring the very talented duo of Ian Millar and Dominic Spencer. Grab them if you can (I mean the tickets!) Click on the image below for more information. Have an amazing week!

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.

Jacks for Women
For the best in ladies fashion, women's wear and a personal shopping experience, go to Jacks for Women in Church Street, Market Harborough, Leicestershire.
Was visiting Mkt Harborough to find a dress for my uni graduation. Visited Jacks and mentioned the occasion, the staff were able to pick out dresses that were perfect for the occasion and even wanted to know what colour gown I'd wear so that we could find a dress that would match. Found a gorgeous dress that I love!

Northants Mobile Tyres
Northants Mobile Tyres is an independent mobile tyre fitting service for businesses and individuals in the Market Harborough, Corby and Kettering regions with a fully equipped depot and service centre in Corby.
My first time using Northants Mobile Tyres Ltd and I have to say they're spot on, brilliant. I got a competitive price for the tyres I wanted and they ordered them the same day, fitting was on our driveway the next morning. The fitter arrived promptly and just got straight on with it, even gave me a neat little bag to keep my locking wheel nut key in! If you want to sit in a queue waiting for your local tyre shop to do your car then fine, I chose the easy convenient way! :)

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.
