Mia Brodie, owner of Spin Slow Style, a recently opened resale boutique on Prices Street, Woodhatch, is looking forward to her first festive season in Reigate.
She says, “Don't be afraid to buy a preloved gift. I’m always happy to help my customers find something special.”
Here are Mia’s must-visit top spots in the area.
Nestled in the Surrey Hills, this picturesque market town effortlessly blends historic charm with a modern edge. Think tranquil countryside meets urban eclecticism…
Where do you go to grab that first morning coffee? “For my morning coffee, or a spot of breakfast or an early work meeting I always go to The Chapel on Bell Street. Owned and run by passionate Italian, Roberto, you can always expect great quality coffee – and food – made with love.”
Must-stop shop for the festive season? “At Spin Slow Style of course! Here you’ll find quality preowned and preloved fashion, curated to offer something for everyone. From high street to branded plus rare vintage treasures in the mix, we champion sustainability and reducing waste. It’s the future of fashion.”

Tell us your favourite lunchtime recommendation “Ooh, Lebnani on Church Street does absolutely delicious Lebanese food! Whether it’s for a small bite, takeaway or proper dining experience. Always fresh, always full of flavour, always full of atmosphere – it’s the best Beirut soul food.”
What shop could you not live without? “Since this gem of a shop opened during Covid, this has become routine for me. New Leaf Zero Waste is a refill shop challenging perceptions of grocery and household shopping. You buy just what you need, removing plastic packaging in the process by refilling, plus you end up saving valuable pounds. You’ll be amazed at the selection on offer.”

“I believe to my core that bricks and mortar shops must stay, so we can feel stuff, try before we buy and get honest advice with experienced guidance. Now more than ever, we’ve got to support and shop the small independents.”
Let’s go outside
Priory Park “Spend time in Reigate’s Priory Park, a popular destination for families, dog walkers and park runs and those wishing to take in the beauty of the local surroundings as well as the Grade l listed building and Priory Café”
National Trust “Such breathtaking views are to be seen at Reigate Hill, it’s such a picturesque spot while the landscaped grounds at Gatton Park with its lakes and mighty trees are equally stunning. Other places of historical interest include Reigate Fort.”
