What’s On… in Royston and Beyond  The Listing What’s On guide is the most comprehensive guide in the area, helping you to plan how to spend your free time. Our online diary and printed pages are reserved for one-off events, rather than reoccurring events, meetings and classes.  Click here to visit our online organisation directory for more information on our local clubs and societies. 

Do you have an event you would like to promote? Simply email your events to whatson@townhousepublishing.co.uk and it will be included online and in our printed magazines in the month of the event (subject to space and other terms.)

If you wanted your event to really stand out, you might also like to consider running an advert in the magazine too, or possibly consider our door-to-door leaflet delivery service.  Discounted advertising rates are given for charity and not for profit organisations.

IMPORTANT: The risk of contracting COVID-19 means that any events may be subject to change or cancellation. Therefore, we urge that you double check with the event holder that it is still going ahead and to follow the latest guidance from Public Health England.
