When Shelleigh Butler was on maternity leave, a simple conversation during a playdate sparked an idea that would become one of Newbury's most popular family destinations.

In this episode of Love Local, Jen sits down with Shelleigh, co-founder of Tiny Town Cafe, to discuss how she and her siblings turned a gap in the local market into a thriving family business.

From finding their first premises in the Kennet Centre to relocating into a new High Street home, Shelleigh shares the highs, lows, and lessons learned along the way.

The conversation explores the realities of running a family business, balancing parenthood and entrepreneurship, building a loyal customer base, and the importance of creating spaces where families can connect and children can play safely. Shelleigh also opens up about the emotional challenges of relocating the business and how family support has been central to Tiny Town's success.

If you're a parent, local business owner, or aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is packed with honest insights and inspiration.
