A huge shout out to Nick, Wes and Gordon, who spent the day assembling the main sections of our Viking longboat for this year's Geddington Summer Fete.

It's been fantastic to see the project really taking shape, and the amount of time, effort and craftsmanship that has gone into it is greatly appreciated. Not forgetting Diane with her help with the design.

The next stage will be painting and adding the final flourishes before it takes pride of place at the fete.

We can't wait to see it on the field in all its glory on Sunday 5th July!

Thank you, gentlemen – a tremendous effort and a real asset to the event. ⚔️🛡️🚣

As always, we'll need lots of volunteers to help make the day a success. Whether you can spare an hour or stay all day, we'd love to hear from you. There will be a variety of roles available, including set-up, marshalling and helping with the clear-up afterwards.

If you'd like to lend a hand, please send us a message.

After all, many hands make light work! 😊

🥳Saturday 6th June is Market Harborough Carnival.
🚛And our traders have come together to enter a float a celebrate to the market family with traders, friends and customers all pitching in to help.
🥰The theme for the carnival is the number 6. This can translate to 'family'. This is what we are celebrating - the market family!
🌺Lilo and Stitch from the well known Disney film are also all about family and will be making a special trip all the way from Hawaii to be a part of our float and say hello to everyone in the market.
👀Keep your eyes on social media over the coming days as we will have more to share with competitions and activities.
For now, we say Aloha!!!👋
