It was a year of new ventures with lots happening in and around Alsager during 2022.

This year has seen some changes on the high street with several new businesses coming to the town.

Titanic Brewery sailed into town with the launch of Alsager Bod in Crewe Road, spending around £300,000 converting a former solicitor's office.

Alsager Bod is the company's seventh 'Bod'. The Alsager one, opposite the B'Hoys Community Gardens.

Architect, Alex Melhuish (in the photograph below), used his creative skills when he and his wife, Nikki, opened a coffee shop in Alsager.

Home Coffee & Studio in Lawton Road received a warm welcome from Alsager residents and has since gone on to take on more staff to cope with demand.

Down the road, on the town's outskirts, Alsager's Manor House Hotel came up with something to whet the appetite of leisure lovers.

The Manor House unveiled its luxurious country spa garden complete with a hydrotherapy pool, a vitality pool, summer house and a potting shed sauna to name just a few of the thing included.

In October, the town's new high-end Asian cocktail bar and restaurant, The Vault in Lawton Road finally opened.

The social dining venue is housed in a converted bank, the town's former Barclays Bank.

For many though, the highlight of the year was the late Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations when the town partied until it dropped!

Crowds turned out to party in a fun day in front of Alsager Civic as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

A town crier, face painter, dance group, balloon artist and stalls galore filled the space in front of Alsager Civic and fun was had by all.

But the late Monarch's wonderful memories aren't lost forever. Alsager residents can sit in style and watch the world go by – thanks to the late Queen and her Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Alsager Town Council decided to refurbish benches in front of Alsager Civic and place a plaque commemorating the great occasion.

The bench improvement project has proved a great success and is an everlasting memory for generations to come.
