Local Noticeboards
Take a wander through the heart of your town, and you’re likely to stumble upon the beating pulse of local information – community noticeboards. These colourful bulletin boards are a treasure trove of announcements and event flyers. From markets to community events, it’s the grassroots way to connect with your neighbours.
Last but not certainly not least, we recommend following locals (like us!) on social media.
