With New Year’s resolutions widely abandoned, February in Oxted is all about indulgence! With National Yorkshire Pudding Day, World Nutella Day, Galentine’s, Valentine’s and National Pizza Day, this month is all about the feast!
Thanks very much to everyone who took the consumer survey last month. Your feedback is really useful and important in terms of helping us know what you want in terms of activities, events and reasons to come into Oxted Town Centre.
Well done to Matt J Hill who was the winner of £50 to spend in Oxted town centre businesses.
What’s February all about?
Did you know 9th February is National Pizza Day? There’s plenty of opportunity to celebrate this amazing invention, courtesy of Brisk, The Other Side (at Bru & Bear) and Pizza Express, or pop into the shops and buy your own ingredients for a Pizza and Super Bowl night on the sofa!
You won’t be allowed to forget that Valentine’s is the big focus mid-month, and pretty much all the restaurants will have a Valentine’s Specials, as well as flowers, jewellery and gifts ideas galore in all our amazing high street businesses.
