🍸 Prep for Some Friday Night Fun. 24/04, 5pm-10pm. Now, here’s something a bit different. Capital & Centric is hosting a shindig where you can grab pizza, sushi and other gorgeous grub that’s soundtracked by live music and a DJ.

🚶♂️Staffs Moorlands Walking Festival is Back! 24/04-04/05, various locations. There are around 30 walks taking place, and the event kicks off with a six-mile- long circular stroll around Marshes Hill in Brown Edge that incorporates sections of Knypersley Reservoir. But it’s not just walks: you can also attend the Mythstoric Moorlands talk by Staffordshire folklorist Eli Lewis-Lycett, which will explore the folklore and history woven through the landscape of the Moorlands. We also like the sound of the Dawn Chorus Walk at Ladderedge Country Park, a three-mile jaunt that begins at 5am anc coincides with international dawn chorus day.
The Staffs Moorlands Walking Festival will take place from 24/04-04/05
