Celebrating everything good in Tadcaster and surrounding areas
INTRODUCTION
Hello and welcome to your October/November edition of Tadcaster Echo.
Autumn is well and truly here, and there is something about the nights getting darker that makes us want to get all cosy.
In this edition, we go all Christmassy as Tadcaster’s own pantomime this year is... Dick Whittington. It’s running at the Riley Smith Hall from Wednesday 26th to Saturday 29th November. So grab your tickets today.
Autumn is packed with exciting events and unmissable experiences, so we shine a spotlight on a few local to us.
As always, if you would like more information about how you can be featured in the magazine, get in touch with a member of our friendly team who will be happy to help.
As always, we have some great business offers from the local area, so please sit back with a cuppa and enjoy your latest instalment of Tadcaster Echo.
