Thursday 5th June 2025

Hi ,

Thank you for opening this week's newsletter. Today (5th June), is WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY, a day celebrated each year to unite with people around the world and encourage us all to take action to protect and preserve our environment for present and future generations. If you are interested, click on this link, where you can find out more about it and learn how you can get involved if you'd like to.

Last week, I was delighted to welcome FIGJAM SOLUTIONS, an independent electrical & mechanical engineering company, to The Bestof Market Harborough's directory of recommended businesses. I'm now pleased to direct you to our newly published FIGJAM SOLUTIONS feature page, where you can find out all about business owner Mark and his remarkable business. They offer a wide range of electrical services, that include solar energy and battery storage installation for all domestic, commercial and industrial customers. You'll see he has some very impressive customer reviews, and we recommend calling him to discuss all your electrical needs with a free quote without obligation.

Next weekend (June 15th) is FATHER's DAY weekend (I've just extended it!) and of course the town's local businesses will be keen to celebrate the occasion with you, so look out for some great ideas and bargain offers. The HARBOROUGH FAMILY FUNFAIR will of course be at Welland Park (Thurs - Sun) and all Dads with accompanying young children will be offered FREE entry on Sunday!

Don't forget being the 2nd Saturday in June NEXT week (14th June), the HARBOROUGH CARNIVAL will be in full flow all day around the town and at Symington Recreation Ground off St Mary's Road. That means some local roads will be closed to traffic at certain times during the parade. For more information click on the link above.

Please scroll down to see this week's selection of local offers from some of the best recommended independent businesses in Market Harborough and then blog articles, business profiles and loads of upcoming events in and around the region, brought to you by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local.

The FARMER's MARKET will be on The Square today (Thursday 9am - 3pm), featuring the best of local produce, so take a stroll into town; maybe best to take a brolly!

Have a great week,

Simon
