Thursday 16th July 2026 Hi *|FIRSTNAME|*, OK, so we are all feeling a bit glum this morning as we realise that 'football's not coming home' this year, (and there definitely won't be an extra bank holiday either!), but I think you'll agree the England boys did pretty well to reach the semi finals and last night, on this occasion, they were beaten by a better team and arguably some poor tactical decisions by our manager. Personally, I can't see the point in having a 'bronze match' on Saturday as motivation will be low for both the French and English teams and with risk of possible injury before the EPL begins in August, I can't imagine there'll be much support or interest from the fans either, but of course I'll probably be proved wrong! But on a brighter note, there's still plenty of events to look forward to as you'll see when you hit the ever updating Events tab. The warm weather is set to continue for at least another week and there are plenty of outside attractions open for the school holidays. It's always good to see the WISTOW MAZE opening as it will on Monday until mid September as this is always a star attraction of the summer. This year it celebrates Sir David Attenborough's 100th year, and has been designed in the shape of a Mountain Gorilla. So please scroll down to see this week's great local offers from a selection of the best recommended independent businesses in Market Harborough and then 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 a great week,
Simon

Joanne Pagett Coaching
Joanne Pagett is a multi award winning Women's Wellness Health & Life Coach empowering business women over 40 to restore their well being, physical and mental fitness to live their best life.
I can't recommend Jo highly enough.
After losing weight using food packs, I reached the point where I wanted to move onto maintenance and, more importantly, understand nutrition properly and what my body actually needs. Jo was absolutely brilliant in supporting me through that transition.
Not only did she help me build the knowledge and confidence to maintain my weight, but she also inspired me to become much more adventurous with food. It's been so exciting experimenting with new ingredients and recipes. Some I've loved, others not so much, but that's all part of the journey! I've realised that nutrition is so much more fascinating and complex than I ever imagined.
One of the biggest changes Jo helped me make was shifting my mindset from counting calories to understanding and tracking macros. It's made such a difference and feels like a much more positive, sustainable approach.
Jo is incredibly knowledgeable, genuinely passionate about nutrition, and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. She's also funny, approachable and completely non-judgemental, making every session enjoyable as well as informative.
If you're looking for someone to help you build a healthier relationship with food and truly understand nutrition, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jo.

DJ's Property Maintenance
An independent family business with 25 years experience specialising in all kinds of Roofing and UPVC Guttering Services, Fascias and Soffits to commercial and domestic customers within a 20 mile radius of Market Harborough.
Really impressed with the service. They were honest from the start and actually took the time to find the real problem, when a few others tried to tell me I needed a whole new roof. They fixed the issue straight away and saved me thousands. Genuinely trustworthy and easy to deal with.

Han Chinese Restaurant
Long established and highly respected traditional Chinese restaurant in Market Harborough town centre, best known for its quality food and relaxed environment.
This is a hidden gem. What you see from the window on the street is just an empty waiting area. The restaurant is upstairs. It has a nice layout and ambience, and the food is good.

Duncan Murray Wines
Duncan Murray Wines is the award winning independent shop in Market Harborough, specialising in carefully selected quality wines, beers and spirits with 'personality' - giving you a drinks and buying experience with great advice, all served with infectious enthusiasm!
While the selection of wines on offer seems excellent, the website is incredibly slow to use. It took me half an hour to pick 3 wines and pay for them. The functionality of the website is good - it had no problem with a delivery address in Maidwell and a billing address in Ireland. But, please, please, please, change your server. It can take minutes to get to the home page. Probably when you do switch servers, you'll find that it not only is much faster, but it costs less.
If not for the webside speed, I'd have given you 5 stars.
