Hi ,

Thank you once again for opening this week's newsletter.

As I walk through the town centre I still enjoy the amazing talent of our local artists through their work as seen in many shop windows, but sadly 'ART WINDOWS' is only with us for another couple of weeks, (I think it should be much longer!), so I suppose we can only enjoy it while we can.

I hope you've had a good week. I've spent some time re-seeding the garden 'lawn' (I'm sure it used to be green with grass once upon a time!). But I suppose we must be grateful for the rain after the long dry summer.

The outside events are thinning out a bit now, but unless the weather changes, the highly popular SADDINGTON CAR BOOT SALE is apparently still 'ON' for this Sunday but I strongly suggest you check their facebook page before you travel.

If you've been meaning to book a free consultation appointment at one of the INVISALIGN teeth straightening OPEN DAYS at BROOKSIDE DENTAL at the end of next week, do it NOW, because there are very few (if any) places left, and you risk missing out on a HUGE discount if you want the treatment which will give your amazing smile back!

I'm delighted to once again welcome GURKHA DINING (Nepalese and Indian Cuisine) to 'our family' of highly recommended restaurants on The bestof Market Harborough, and now invite you to see their new feature page here. Judging by their collection of customer reviews, many of you have already had a great experience there since they opened just 2 weeks ago. AND, by popular demand, and to say a BIG 'thank you', the owners have agreed to EXTEND THEIR 50% OFF FOOD OFFER from 20th - 30th Sept (not Fri or Sat and with some Ts and Cs). So book a table and enjoy the amazing food, service and ambience at these great prices while the offer is available.

Scroll down to see a selection of this week's local offers from some of the best recommended independent 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 a brilliant week!
