We're now just under a month away from our first big event of the year, the Kidderminster Canal & Food Festival ☀️ We've had lots of messages asking about trader spaces and how to get involved. We still have room for around 10 market stalls, so if you'd like to be part of the weekend, pop us a message and we will go from there. Please note: our food vendor spaces are now fully booked due to demand. If you're a food trader, we'd still be happy to keep your details on file for future events. #kidderminster #Worcestershire #local #events #community #support #business

Today we teamed up with the brilliant team from McDonald's Weavers Wharf for a community litter pick, covering not only the town centre but also Crossley Park and around Asda. Despite the hot weather, the team got stuck in and you may have spotted a few of us out in our high-vis ☀️ It's always great to come together like this, and it's fantastic to see a local business wanting to get involved and be a real champion for our community 👏 Together we collected 14 bags of litter, and it was great to hear so many positive comments from people while we were out. A huge thank you to everyone at McDonald's for organising the day and giving up their time to help, a great team effort all round. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #litter #local #community #support #events #business #love #team

It’s been a warmer week... and that’s putting it lightly ☀️ The heat hasn’t stopped the team though. This week we’ve been giving the flower bed at the top of Church Street a proper refresh. It’s a lovely spot with the church behind it, so we thought it deserved a bit of attention. We’ve cleared away the weeds and overgrown greenery, and we’re now getting fresh soil down ready for some colourful new flowers. It’s not quite finished yet, but hopefully you’ll start seeing the flowers appearing very soon 🌸 We’d also like to give a massive thank you to Pockets Snooker Club Kidderminster and the whole team there. They kept us topped up with cold drinks, refreshments and even some food while we were working in the heat. Gestures like that really do make a difference, and it’s another reminder of how lucky we are to have such supportive local businesses. We hope they’re seeing the difference around town just as much as we are. Also a massive thank you to Wyre Forest District Council for borrowing us some tools and the trailer for the green waste 💚 As always, thanks to everyone who stops for a chat, beeps, waves or says hello while we’re out working. It never goes unnoticed. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #support #business #local #love #team #summer #nature #community

Eazy Lounge have only gone and done it again! 🤩 Back in April, we were celebrating them being crowned Best Café in Worcestershire, and now they've been nominated for Best Café in the Nation! ⭐ Full credit to the whole team. It's amazing to see a local independent business continue to thrive and receive the recognition it deserves. The passion, effort and care they put into what they do is clear to see, and they've built a genuine connection with the local community along the way. It's brilliant to see a Kidderminster business in the national spotlight, and we'd love to see them go all the way. 💙 If you've enjoyed a visit to Eazy Lounge, please take a moment to support them and cast your vote via the link below 👏 VOTE https://nominees.info/vote #kidderminster #worcestershire #support #local #love #team #business #cafe #community

Have you spotted the flowers around town yet? 🌸 They're pretty hard to miss and, honestly, they're looking stunning right now. With the warm weather we've been having, the baskets and flower beds are really starting to bloom and bring plenty of colour to the town centre. It's great to see a bit of nature around the town, and the flowers really help bring some life and colour to the streets. The recent sunshine has certainly done them a few favours, and they're looking better every day 💙 In partnership with Wyre Forest District Council and Kidderminster Town Council #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #support #flowers #spring #nature #local #love

It’s been another warm week, and our team have been busy helping to keep the town cleaner, safer and more welcoming for everyone. With summer just around the corner, we know how important it is to stay on top of things, so this week we’ve been tackling weeds, clearing overgrown greenery, removing litter and giving areas around the town centre a well-needed tidy up. ☀️ It’s also great to see a bit more colour appearing around town as the flowers begin to bloom As always, a big thank you to everyone who stops for a chat or says hello while we're out and about, we really do appreciate the support. 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #local #spring #love #new #team #Community #nature
