Thursday 28th August 2025

Hi *|FIRSTNAME|*,

I hope you've had a great bank holiday week - the weather was kind and you couldn't have asked for more for the 2 day Food & Drink Festival at Welland Park, which by all accounts was very successful.

And if you enjoyed that, there's more happening this coming weekend! The main events dominating the calendar are THE FOX FAYRE AT THE FOX INN, WILBARSTON on Saturday 30th, followed on Sunday 31st with The MARKET HARBOROUGH SUMMER FAYRE at Welland Park. Click the links to find out more. 

And of course, don't forget The WISTOW MAIZE is still open and as popular and mind boggling as ever to confuse the whole family, but especially the grown ups!

The ever popular COSBY 'VICTORY SHOW' is on from Friday 29th - Sunday 31st August and will without doubt excite all military re-enactment enthusiasts.

All offer great family days to sign off the summer holidays, before the 'wonderful' back to school!!

As always, we remind you to support our brilliant local businesses. DUNCAN MURRAY WINES has released a new programme of upcoming events including a special wine tasting in collaboration with THE PAINT POTTLE at The Village in St Mary's Road, which you can read about in their latest newsletter here.

Please 'scroll the page' to see this week's selection of great local offers, blog articles, and business profiles on some of the best recommended businesses in the Market Harborough region. 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.
