🎶 We’ve got some HUGE news…

Weston Park is officially the new home to the incredible Hide&Seek Festival!

Hide&Seek is all about deep connection, big discoveries, and losing yourself in three unforgettable days of electronic music and nature - an intimate escape where the dancefloor meets the great outdoors.

“In 2026, Hide & Seek finds its new home at Weston Park. A place that lets us dream even bigger, reach even further, and create an experience that truly reflects what dance music is meant to be.”

We couldn’t be more excited to welcome the Hide&Seek family to Weston and we are even more excited to welcome all of YOU for what’s set to be an electric weekend in 2026.

🎟 Tickets are on sale now! Take a look here: https://hideandseekfestival.co.uk/

It's that time of year when we start to reflect. 2025 has been great for food, but few mouthfuls made an impression as long-lasting as the shoulder of lamb and confit potato canape at Goodwins 1757 at The Valley Hotel Ironbridge.

When we went along to the restaurant launch, I made a promise to myself I'd be back so I could write a proper review of the dining experience in full for The Shropshire GOAT and now I don't know where the time has gone. But this absolutely goes on the epic banger list.
