There’s a particular light on the Kennet at dusk, isn’t there? Newbury feels special, even beyond the castle ruins and the Cloth Hall.
But keeping up with everything happening – from neighbourhood news in Brummel Grove and Northcroft to what’s on – can be exhausting. So much gets lost in endless scrolling and crowded groups.
We gather the best of Newbury, just for you. Think local events, and what’s happening in neighbourhoods like Speenhamland and beyond. Delivered weekly, so you can spend less time searching, and more time enjoying the town.
