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 hello@thelistingmagazine.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.

With Royston Library still closed, the Summer Reading Challenge is taking place online, with a digital challenge platform is now up and running and is FREE for children and their families to join and use, providing a safe and secure sign-up process. This is a great opportunity to develop skills and enjoy reading as a family.
Children will be able to set up their own personal reading goals. We are encouraging them to read six books, although this year there is no minimum (or maximum!) number to be read.
Instead of coming into the library to collect stickers, children will be able to record their progress through the Challenge online and unlock virtual rewards as they go. You can also print a certificate at the end. The Silly Squad website will include games, quizzes and downloadable activities to keep everyone entertained at home as well as a book sorter which offers reading suggestions. We are looking forward to reading their reviews.
