October Run Down
A new month is here, and there is plenty happening!
October is shaping up to be a busy one for our businesses and our community, with events bringing people into town, plenty of reasons to get out and about, and of course lots of opportunities to shop, eat and support local.
This month there are plenty of events and reasons for people to visit Rochester!

Take not of the important dates and make the most of the opportunities for our businesses and community.

Our local businesses are a huge part of what makes Rochester, Rochester, so whether it’s grabbing your morning coffee, booking a service, buying a gift, enjoying a meal or doing the weekly shop, every little bit of local support counts.

Here’s to a great October in Rochy!
