Top Schools, Sweet Brunches, and a Big Cancelled Project

Hey Beverley! Here's What's Happening This Week!

This week's roundup is full of surprises - some sweet, some sobering. School admissions data is out, revealing the easiest and toughest places in Yorkshire to land a first-choice secondary school. Could your area be on the list?

In cheerier news, Boardroom Beverley has made its bottomless brunch available every day (except Saturdays), so you've got plenty of chances to toast with friends and sip your favourites. But there's disappointment too: the ambitious £20m Hull4Heroes veterans village has officially been cancelled due to rising costs.

Plus, we've got pub listings, quiz nights, live music, and an amazing Yorkshire Day pop-up planned. Check out the full lineup below!
