Itchenor’s Got Talent (and Treats!)
This Saturday, locals and businesses from across the village – including several based at Northshore, such as Orca Metal Craft, Taylor’s of West Sussex and Guidant Ventures – will be coming together at the Memorial Hall for an afternoon celebrating the talent, creativity and services that make Itchenor such a vibrant place to live and work.
It’s a relaxed, friendly event with one-day-only offers, tasters and the chance to meet the people behind the businesses you might already know – and a few you may not have discovered yet.
Northshore will be there too, chatting about what’s happening at the Boatyard, how the Northshore Boat Club is shaping up, and the growing community of businesses now calling Northshore home.
Date: Saturday 25th October
Time: 1pm – 4pm
Location: Itchenor Memorial Hall
Entry: Free for all visitors
