What a week it's been and we're only on Wednesday! In the blog last week I talked about how a number of the businesses based in Old Bolsover Yard were getting involved in Totally Locally's campaign to get people to shop locally, and spend just five pound in their town and the difference that would make to the local economy. In Bolsover this would equate to 2.3 million pounds and the list of businesses now involved has sky-rocketed.

We have another pop-up shop starting next week as Crafted by Us join us in our pop-up shop unit. I'll be introducing you to Steve and Ian next week and telling you all about their business. Keep an eye on social media for more updates of their work.

Sarah, Damion and Family will be having a few days off at the end of the week meaning The Gallery, The Fabric Den, and Ethos Upcycling will be shut Friday 11th through to Monday 14th. We'll be back open again at 10am Tuesday morning.

The Beehive Cafe and Cup & Saucer will be trading as usual.

Until next week......

Isn't that amazing - spending just £5 per week in your local independent shops and businesses makes a huge difference to your town or High Street!

Here at Old Bolsover Yard we are really pleased to be getting involved in Fiver Fest which is happening from 5th - 12th October. We're asking that you come in to Bolsover and spend £5 with a local independent business, and there's lots of great businesses for you to choose from.

Within Old Bolsover Yard The Fabric Den by Molly Felicity Designs, Cup and Saucer, Ethos Upcycling and M&E Woodcraft are all taking part with lots of #fiverfest deals to be had.

The Pop-Up shop will be open everyday during the campaign from 10am - 3pm featuring items that can be purchased for just £5. Seems to me to be the perfect opportunity to make a start on your shopping for the festive season which is creeping up on us.

By joining in with this campaign we are hoping to make Bolsover a stronger, more vibrant & resilient place. We'd love you all to re-engage with your independent High Street 

Until next time.....
