No January blues here!
Good times guaranteed inside 🔥

07.01.25
TOGETHER WITH
It’s official, January has arrived (and maybe a touch of the post-Christmas blues along with it) - but don’t worry, we’re here to brighten up your week!
Some good news out of Stratford - our very own ‘Swan Man’, Cyril Bennis, has been honoured by King Charles with a British Empire Medal for his services to our town! Congratulations Cyril 🎉 And co-founder & CEO of the charity Escape Arts, Karen Williams, has been awarded an MBE in the King’s New Year’s Honours list - Congratulations Karen!
To go with that good news is the promise of some better weather - the sun is finally shining, after what feels like a never-ending run of rain, and we’ve got another great week of events for you all to enjoy!
So, let’s get ourselves stuck in, and enjoy everything that our town has to offer!
See you out there 🙏
