What a wonderful 🩷 a huge thanks to everyone that made it possible, from the volunteer team to the stall owners, the musicians, our fellow businesses and all of you that came into town to enjoy it.

Our team, (what a team), were tight, so much focus humour and passion, a huge thank you to Ethan, Lou, Rachel, Rose & (what a baptism of fire) Ellie.

We’re inspired for next year already!

(Mostly for our bike & brew participants)
Location 151 ACCESS UPDATE , we have our towns free music and arts festival, 'Folly Fest' this weekend (10th-12th) .

This will close a few roads around us, most notably the market square (where most of you park) and London Street (the street we are on). There will be very helpful marshals all around to point you to the towns free parking, we recommend the closest one which is Southampton Street SN77DX.

It’s a celebration of the eccentric, with many shops featuring the town mascot of the pink pigeon (also the name of our house speciality coffee).

It’s a vibe all weekend and it would be a joy to share it with you and give you a stamp with any refreshments, but if you want direct eyes on the bike maybe swing by earlier in the week or next weekend instead .

Want in on the bike and brew event? Wondered why there are so often motorbikes in the centre? Pick up a passport in store or online to find out more (charity & details on the event linked in comments).

We’ve switched up and changed our hot chocolate over to Cocoa Canopy, we met them over at The London Coffee Festival and the experience of drinking a cup from them is incomparable. We’ve selected our house chocolate, and we also have a super dark option - both pair perfectly with Oatly , or with our local organic milk from Step Farm, or you’re feeling especially wacky why not go for our coconut milk.

(Just FYI our ‘most specific’ mocha drinking customer gave it a stunning review 😉😘)

Guest espresso update - we now have a UGANDAN on, roasted by Pink Lane with notes of strawberry, peach & milk chocolate. It's always worth trying the guest espresso as an espresso, a cortado or a flat white and seeing what you especially like in a coffee.
