News in Alsager

Today (Tuesday 30 March) is Cheshire Day, a chance to celebrate all the great things about our county and our local neighbourhoods.

Cheshire Day takes place on 30 March because it was on this day all the way back in 1300 that the earliest surviving Cheshire Magna Carta was issued.

Village fetes and other local events are the experiences we are most looking forward to when government restrictions are lifted, according to a poll seen by Nub News.

The finding comes in a survey of more than 2,000 consumers for #wecreateexperiences, a campaign being launched today (March 30) by One Industry One Voice, a group representing the UK's events industry.
