Don’t be a Dick this Christmas

Revellers in Weston-super-Mare are being asked ‘Don’t be a Dick’ as their Christmas celebrations get under way.

Portishead marathon man heading to America

Portishead marathon man Ben Smith is heading to America for a mighty new challenge – and you can take up your own endeavour to help support him.

Ben ran 401 marathons in 401 days between 2015 and 2016 and raised more than £330,000 for two anti-bullying charities.

Theatre treats and festive cheer

A spectacular festive wonderland has returned to Weston-super-Mare’s seafront featuring the UK’s largest covered winter ice rink.

Icescape @The Tropicana is now open until Sunday 6 January – and to celebrate we have one family ticket to give away.

Adventures and spooky holiday fun

It’s the school holidays next week and lots of spooky fun and adventures can be enjoyed across North Somerset.

Here’s a round-up of some events taking place…

Stay safe with fireworks

Big bangs will be heard across the area this coming week as everyone gears up for some fantastic firework displays.

If you’re hosting an event in your own back garden, it’s important to make sure both used and unused fireworks are disposed of properly afterwards.

A poignant play about two young men signing up to Britain’s war effort comes to Clevedon next week to mark the start of the Remembrance Day commemorations.
