I’m Sorry, I Failed?

I'll be honest - it all got a bit too much.

I honestly thought I could keep up the pace, but life had other plans. So from now on, Beverley Insider will be coming to your inbox just once a week, ON THURSDAY, instead of twice.

But don't worry - you'll still get everything you've come to expect: the latest local news, upcoming events, and plenty of Beverley love. Just delivered in one weekly dose, not two. Hopefully, that means a little less pressure on me and a better, more thoughtful read for you.

Thanks for sticking with me - it really does mean the world.

AND NOW - This week’s newsletter

Hey Beverley! Here's What’s Happening This Week!
From Amazon's big hiring push at the new Melton West warehouse to the £ 570,000 roadworks set to begin in Watton, there's a lot happening in East Yorkshire this week. But it's not all business - Sunday brings the return of the much-loved East Yorkshire Show, with donkey rides, street food, and axe throwing (yes, really!).

We've also spotted some tasty midweek deals at Beverley Hills Diner, plus happy hour at The Green Dragon. And if you're itching for live music or a cheeky quiz night, scroll on down - we've got you covered.

Check out the full lineup of events, gigs, and community news below 👇
