What's on in Steeple

Steeple in Essex is a quiet sort of place where the locals know exactly which side of the road to park on, yet it still manages to pack a punch when it comes to entertainment. The Star has been holding court for years, serving up gigs that turn a Tuesday night into something resembling a festival without the traffic jams. Pub quizzes drift through the village like gentle rain and community groups meet up for coffee or cake with enough frequency to make a clockwork orange jealous. Near Here keeps track of who's doing what so you can pop over for a pint or two instead of trawling through a dozen different sites on a Sunday evening.
