The Great Malarkey, Death Cafe & RC Roastery
Don't miss these Thanet business events...
Did you feel the love this weekend? I certainly did with those major blue skies yesterday. I think we all needed them, even if they were slightly short-lived.
This week, Ramsgate Town Council launched its ‘We Are Ramsgate’ campaign, and you can now collect a loyalty card and stamps at participating shops. Collect four stamps, and you’ll nab yourself a special pin badge to show that you support local. It’s a sweet campaign that celebrates the town. So, whadda ya say? Time to get collecting.
Don’t miss out, until next time - EJP x
