Thursday 20th November 2025

Hi ,

With little more than a month to go before the BIG day and with 'The Tree' firmly in place, the Christmas Lights in Harborough town will be switched on with all the trimmings this Saturday 22nd November from 5pm in the Square to 'kick start' the Christmas magic.

Local shops in the Market and town centre are already displaying their creative gift choices, and watch out for 'Black Friday' offers (they're NOT only just online!).

And talking of gift choices and Christmas spirit, see Duncan's latest newsletter (19th Nov) here, with great present ideas for family and friends along with updates of all their upcoming festive tastings, including 3 x stunning wines for you to try this Saturday (12noon - 3pm), and events until the year end.

And don't forget our brilliant restaurants, like Su & Shi (Abbey Street) and all those in St Mary's Road, (eg Han Chinese, Taste Social, Vault & Vine, Everest Lounge, Avatar Dining - to name just a few!) are all taking your bookings for your parties and events and many offering some amazing deals. We are so fortunate in Harborough to have so many 'multi award' winning independent restaurants to choose from.

And then just out of town in the village of Wilbarston, THE FOX INN are serving an amazing value Christmas menu as well as their highly acclaimed regular home cooked dishes 7 days a week, with regular live entertainment.

Then of course (and especially for those less able to shop during the day), you can enjoy 'LATE NIGHT SHOPPING' in the town on Friday 28th November, along with many a mince pie and glass of something I'm sure!

So please 'SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES this Christmas, take a peek at some great local offers from a sample of the best recommended independent businesses in and around Market Harborough and then find loads of upcoming events in and around the region, brought to you each Thursday by thebestof Market Harborough, your community hub for thebestof everything local.

Have a brilliant week!
