Morning from Phil. I’m chatting about this event quite a bit on the show this morning. Half term isn’t that far away and We Are Newark have a fantastic weekend planned for us to join in with.

Are you taking your young child to our Spooktacular Newark event and trick or treating after? 👻

You can start your trick or treating journey in the Town Centre in local shops!

On October 31 as part of Spooktacular Newark we are inviting you and your children to dress up in your costumes and go trick or treating whilst at our event. 🍬🎃

A list of shops taking part coming soon!

If you are a business in the Newark Town Centre area and are interested in taking part please get in touch to talk.

Today's Song On The Tip Of Your Tongue starts like this:

"Only the very young and the very beautiful can be so aloof
Hanging out with the boys, all swagger and poise
I don't even care what other people are there
I just stare and stare and stare"

Can you guess the song?

Today's Song On The Tip Of Your Tongue starts with these words:

"I've cried through many endless nights
Just holding my pillow tight
Then you came into my lonely days
With your tender love and your sweet ways"

…and just like that Winthorpe Road estate is filled with the sweet smell once again from British Sugar.

Love it or hate it, it’s the official local sign that winter is coming (in our best Ned Stark voice!)

Today's Song On The Tip Of Your Tongue starts with these lines:

"Wise men say only fools rush in

Today's Song On The Tip Of Your Tongue begins this way:

"I thought love was only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else, but not for me
Love was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreams"
