Let’s Get Cooking!

Stepping into 2024, we fondly reflect on the lively tapestry of celebrations that adorned 2023 with festivals and bustling markets. As the echoes of those joyous moments linger, there's an unmistakable sense of excitement for the possibilities that lie ahead. Picture this: our skating rink, a beloved winter retreat, is poised to reopen its doors, ready to welcome enthusiasts with the promise of icy adventures and shared laughter.
The crisp winter air is set to become a canvas for the rhythmic sounds of blades gliding on the ice, we are bringing back our skating rink! Weather permitting, this icy haven is gearing up to offer a space where friends and families can forge new memories.
Also, starting next week, we're back with Vendor Highlights! Each week, we'll showcase a different vendor, sharing their story and uncovering hidden gems. Join us for a brief and engaging exploration, discovering the personalities and inspirations behind these businesses. Get ready for a weekly dose of insights and maybe find your new favourite. Stay tuned!
