Barraba’s Queen Street retailers are preparing for an evening of discounted shopping and socialising, with the annual Girls Night Out returning on Friday, November 27.
Running from 5pm to 7pm, the free event brings local businesses together for an evening of special offers, food and catching up with friends, with an opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done close to home.
The longstanding event encourages shoppers to explore Barraba’s main street and keep some of their Christmas spending in the town, while making a social occasion of shopping locally.
“It’s that time of year again when the annual Girls Night Out event is on!! Shopping, food, nibbles and LOTS of socialising,” organisers said in the Facebook event listing.
“The whole of Queen Street is getting involved and we’d love to see you all there.”
Ten participating businesses have been listed for this year’s event, offering shoppers a mix of fashion, flowers, food and other local finds.
Frocks N Locks and Babes in the Bush will be participating alongside Barraba Pharmacy & Newsagency, giving shoppers several stops to browse during the two-hour event.
Cobbadah Flowers and Merlene’s Fine Fibres are also taking part, along with The Playhouse Hotel and Andy’s Guesthouse.
Food businesses joining the evening include The Leafy Loaf, Saunders Fruit & Veg and Queen Street Cafe & Takeaway, with food, treats and special offers forming part of the attraction.
The evening continues a tradition established by Queen Street retailers over a number of years, combining shopping with a chance for the community to spend time together before the busy Christmas period.
While a previous edition took the form of a Saturday morning Girls Day Out, this year’s event is an evening outing, with shoppers invited to gather their friends and make a night of it.
Girls Night Out will be held in Queen Street, Barraba, from 5pm to 7pm on Friday, November 27. Further details are available on the Facebook event page.
