In an inspiring display of community spirit and entrepreneurial initiative, Blackhill businesses are coming together to host a special Late Night Shopping Event this Thursday, 23rd November. The aim is simple yet profound: to encourage the community to gather, support local enterprises, and enjoy a fun-filled evening in the lead-up to December.
Blackhill is buzzing with excitement as it prepares to host the enchanting Late Night Shopping Event on Thursday, 23rd November, keeping its doors open until 8 pm for a special evening that promises to wrap the community in the warmth of the Christmas spirit.

This event isn’t just about shopping; it’s a celebration of our local community’s resilience and unity. As we light up our streets with festive decorations and fill the air with the sound of Christmas carols, we’re not only showcasing our wonderful array of local shops but also strengthening the bonds within our community.
From Angels in the Attic to The Spotty Giraffe, each participating business brings something unique to the table, creating a vibrant tapestry of local trade. With special appearances by Santa Claus and heartwarming melodies from the Salvation Army and local church choirs, this evening is set to be more than just a shopping experience – it’s a community gathering full of warmth and festive cheer.
Let’s come together to support our local businesses, find unique gifts for our loved ones, and make this night a memorable start to the festive season. We can’t wait to see you there!
