What's on in Beeston

Book clubs, bingo, and the occasional village fête that's surprisingly well organised — Beeston punches well above its weight for local events, and Nottinghamshire's all the better for it. You'll find everything from craft workshops the kids won't stop asking about to open mic nights that are genuinely worth staying up past nine for. The big listings sites have never heard of half these venues, which is their loss and your gain. Parish council listings, community centre noticeboards, pub websites we've had to zoom in on to read properly — we've checked them all so you don't have to.
