Spring is on the horizon; it’s light past 5pm already as I write this mid-February and the beautiful seasonal blooms bring a bit of joy to the everyday. I hope, like me, you are heartened by the change of season almost upon us.
In March we celebrate Mothering Sunday on the 10th – you could treat that special person in your life to tickets to local live music! We share details of the Good Times Yate Festival with headliners such as – Jools Holland, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Mcfly. There are also some great acts performing just over the bridge in Chepstow, at the Drill Hall and the Castell Roc music festival.
Easter is early this year, taking place at the end of March. We bring you details of local Easter services, and other egg-citing activities within the March magazine.
We have also included updates from the Parish Council, the local Police team, the PCC and our local MP Jack Lopresti. The Bradley Stoke Festival is confirmed this year in June and volunteers are welcomed as well as Marshalls for the Sole Sisters annual 10K run. The Brightwell Colour Run also returns this year!
If you are a business looking to promote your services across the Stokes in 2024 do get in touch – deadline for the next edition is 15th March.
Don’t forget to mention our name if you make contact with any of our lovely advertisers – we couldn’t produce the magazine without them!
Don’t forget the clocks Spring forward on 31st March! Roll on Summer!
