An excellent message from The Little Dress Shop. If you have a town centre business, how are the cobbles works affecting you?

Richmond is still !

A little update from TLDS 🩷

Since the Marketplace works began on 7th September, we’ve seen an immediate and significant drop in footfall across the town 😢

Our turnover so far this month is currently around 75% down compared with the same point last month — and we know we’re not alone. Many other independent businesses in Richmond have also mentioned a noticeable downturn in trade since the works began.

We’ve written to North Yorkshire Council to raise our concerns, particularly as the works are scheduled to continue for 12 weeks, taking us into the crucial Christmas trading period.

We completely appreciate that the work needs to be done, but the impact on our town’s small independent businesses is very real.

So please remember… RICHMOND BUSINESSES ARE STILL OPEN! ❤️

Please don’t let the road works put you off visiting. Every coffee, lunch, purchase and visit genuinely makes a difference.

Shop local. Support local. Keep Richmond thriving. 🛍️❤️

Two well-deserved awards for the brilliant team at Charlotte Jacqueline School of Dance at the Richmond Business & Tourism Association Business Awards.

What an unforgettable evening we had at the
Richmond Business & Tourism Association - Richmond Business Awards ✨

We’re absolutely delighted to have once again been recognised with the Customer Focus Award. Supporting our students and their families is at the heart of everything we do, so to receive this honour from our own community, where it matters most, means more than we can put into words.

A truly special highlight of the night, though, was seeing our wonderful Miss Freya named Young Person of the Year. Her dedication, warmth, and impact within our school and classes make us incredibly proud—this recognition couldn’t be more deserved 💫

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do. Thank you to everyone who continues to support us. 💙🏆

A well deserved Highly Commended in the New Business category for Rejuvenate lifestyle and wellbeing at the Richmond Business & Tourism Association Business Awards. The Association works to promote and celebrate local businesses and make our wonderful town better for all.

Rejuvenate Lifestyle And Wellbeing has been Highly commended in the New Business Award category at Richmond Business Awards evening.

To be recognised in this way means so much to us. What started as a vision to create a calm, nurturing space for our clients has grown into something truly meaningful—and that’s all because of the continued support, loyalty, and trust from each and every one of you.

Over the past two years we have welcomed so many wonderful people through our doors—from people in our local community to visitors travelling from as far as America and Australia, including those completing the Coast to Coast walk.
We’ve had the privilege of caring for members of the armed forces, nhs, teachers and local business owners —to name just a few.

We’ve shared in joyful moments, helping clients celebrate birthdays and special occasions… and at the other end of the scale, we’ve also been there to provide comfort, calm, and space when it’s been needed most.

This accolade is not just ours, it belongs to our incredible community who trust us to be part of their wellbeing journey 🤍

Thank you for supporting our dream. We are so grateful, and so proud to represent our business at such a special event.
Sarah and Helen xx
