Connect & Brew Launches at The Garage Café


We’re delighted to be launching our new Connect & Brew community group at The Garage Café, creating a welcoming space where people can come together over a simple cup of tea or coffee.
To celebrate the launch, we’ve covered the cost of the first 500 hot drinks, so your first brew is completely on us.
Connect & Brew is part of our wider initiative to encourage social connection within the community. The sessions are designed to be relaxed and informal, somewhere you can pop in, enjoy a drink, have a chat, and meet new people in a friendly café setting. Whether you’re looking to make new connections, catch up with familiar faces, or simply enjoy a warm drink in good company, everyone is welcome.
The sessions will take place every Thursday from 10am to 1pm at The Garage Café. There’s no need to book or sign up in advance, just pop in, grab a drink, and take a seat. We’d love to see you there and help grow a space where the community can connect, chat, and feel welcome. 💙
There’s now just under 3 weeks to go until the 2026 England Business Awards, and our amazing local café, Eazy Lounge, has been nominated 🙌 Eazy Lounge is a brilliant local café run by a fantastic team who many of you will already know. They deserve all the praise and recognition for the hard work they put in every day 💙 It would be amazing to see a local business go all the way and bring this award home, not just for themselves but for our town too.

Just one day to go until Kidderminster Oktoberfest 2026 🍻 We're back at The Weaving Sheds tomorrow from 4pm–11pm, with a live Oompah band, plenty of music on stage and some great street food. We know the weather isn't looking the best, but don't worry, the event is still going ahead. The venue is undercover but open-sided, so we'd recommend wrapping up warm. There'll be bars serving German beers, plus loads of street food including BBQ, pizza, German sausages, burgers and sweet treats. Here's who's performing: 🎤 4:15pm–5:15pm – Dolly Parton Tribute 🎶 5:45pm–6:45pm – Ubmad4ska 🎸 7pm–8pm – JbH 🍻 8:30pm–9:15pm – Vorsprung Durch Oompah (Set 1) 🍻 9:45pm–10:30pm – Vorsprung Durch Oompah (Set 2) In partnership with FAB Food Fest 💙 #Kidderminster #Worcestershire #Oktoberfest #Events #local #community #support #love #family #fun
