A number of events planned for this week and next have been cancelled or postponed due to the sad death of Her Majesty The Queen.

Please check with organisers beforehand to confirm the event you’re planning to attend is still going ahead.

  • Organisers for Café Mambo Ibiza Classics on the Beach have decided to go ahead with the event on Saturday (17 September). They will pay tribute to The Queen during the evening
  • Heritage Open Days, England’s largest festival of history and culture, is now on but many events have been cancelled. This year’s theme is ‘outstanding inventions’. You could still visit family-run department store Walker and Ling in Weston-super-Mare (during normal opening hours) to find out about its Lamson pneumatic cash tubes and take a ride in Weston’s oldest passenger lift. View and download the whole programme from our website
  • French Iranian singer songwriter Anita Farmine is the next performer to appear as part of Weston Bandstand Sessions. Hear her perform from 6pm at Grove Park bandstand on Saturday 17 September

There will be free projects and creative activities, performances and talks. This year's theme is Global Weston, celebrating the rich diversity of the town and its hospital staff and the universal things that connect us - story, food, song and landscape.
