Everyone loves moving day!


Small Business Saturday brought lively energy to Spa Road as we invited local entrepreneurs to use our community stalls. Teen innovator Luca from Imagein3D and Kay from Crafting with Kay joined us to showcase their talents, support local shopping, and celebrate community spirit this year.
This Small Business Saturday, it’s more than just shopping it’s survival. With rising costs hitting local shops hard this December, your support could be the difference between a neighbourhood full of life or just another empty storefront. Let’s shop local, together.
