🏆🎭 Outstanding Contribution to Art and Culture
Winner: Thurgoland Thespians! 🎭🏆

Huge congratulations to Thurgoland Thespians, who have been keeping village theatre thriving for an incredible 43 years! 👏

Since 1983, their pantomimes, plays and comedies have brought generations together, creating a much-loved village tradition and friendships that reach far beyond the stage.

Each production involves more than 40 villagers, aged from five to 85, with an entirely unpaid team taking care of everything from choreography, scenery and props to sound, lighting and backstage support. Four original members have contributed to every production — a remarkable commitment! 🌟

This year, 27 new children, alongside many new adults, have signed up for the pantomime, showing that this wonderful tradition continues to inspire new people to get involved.

Thank you, Thurgoland Thespians, for keeping village theatre alive, bringing people together and making creativity such a special part of community life. A very deserving winner! 💛

🎨🌟 Outstanding Contribution to Art and Culture –
Runner-up: Hoylandswaine Arts Group! 🌟🎨

Huge congratulations to Hoylandswaine Arts Group, whose creativity and dedication are bringing our local artistic heritage to life!

By championing the work of Cannon Hall-born artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope, the group has connected artists, historians, museums and community members, sharing his story with new audiences.

Building on the restoration of a hidden church wall painting, their ambitious 2025 project forged connections across the UK and Italy. Creative workshops inspired local artists to produce work for an arts festival, while a theatre event brought more than 80 people together with experts through live video links.

With two successful funding bids and a website in development to share images and research, they’re helping preserve this artistic legacy for future generations.
Thank you, Hoylandswaine Arts Group, for connecting communities through art and heritage — a very deserving runner-up! 💛

Had a lovely visit to Pen*stone FM's Open Day today! 📻

A big thank you to everyone who took the time to chat with us, show us around and explain how everything works behind the scenes.

My girls were absolutely fascinated by it all! I don't think they realised just how much goes into getting everything on air!

The station is entirely run by volunteers who do such an amazing job, giving up their time to keep our local radio station going. 👏❤️

If you've not tuned in before, give them a listen on 95.7 FM! It's a fantastic local station and well worth supporting.
