Thursday 8th May 2025

Hi ,

And welcome to the 80th Anniversary VE Day Celebration newsletter!

Although today (Thursday) marks the official anniversary of VE Day, (the end of World War 2 in Europe), celebrations have been enjoyed around the country just as they did in 1945  and locally all week, the likes of which we are unlikely to see again. On Sunday 11th May, you can all get together at Welland Park (10.30am - 3.30pm) for one BIG party to end a memorable week in which we've all had time to reflect on the horrors of war, and how fortunate and grateful we are to be living in the freedom we enjoy today.

Please scroll down this page and take a look at the week's local offers from some of the best recommended businesses in Market Harborough and find loads of upcoming events in and around the town, brought to you by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local.

Have an amazing week!

Simon

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.

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.
