Swapping scissors for dancing shoes! 💃✂️

Strictly Knot Dancing is a charity dance competition where 12 local contestants learn to dance and perform in front of a live audience to raise money for their chosen charity.

🙌 He’s already raised over £4,299 smashing his £4,000 target!

You can attend the night at King's Hall and support Gabrial on Friday 6 Nov.

Lymelight Festival is in the national spotlight! 🎶🏆

We’re delighted that Newcastle-under-Lyme BID has been shortlisted for Best Event at the National BID Awards 2027 for Lymelight Festival!

Over the past 13 years, our flagship festival has supported more than 700 local artists, filled the town with brilliant live music and brought plenty of bums to benches and pints to glasses 🍻

This year’s late May bank holiday celebration featured more than 50 artists across three town centre stages, including the 6 Towns Radio stage, with local venues keeping the music going throughout the weekend!

We’re incredibly proud to see one of our favourite events and the local talent that brings it to life, recognised nationally.

Here’s to making even more noise in 2027! 🙌
