Saturday 31 October: Halloween Street Food Social

The popular event, which has taken Penkridge by storm, will return this Saturday with a Halloween twist.

Local vendors will be serving food at Penkridge Markets from 6:30pm with a huge range of cuisines to try.

Street Food Social organiser, Dean, said: "The event started in March last year in an attempt to give vendors somewhere to trade and for people to socialise without having to pay expensive prices in restaurants.

"It's going really well.

"We now have venues in Shifnal, Codsall and Rugeley signed up ready for next year."

Entry is free and fancy dress is encouraged!

Sunday 1 November: Staffordshire Fireworks Extravaganza 2026 (Staffordshire County Showground)

The annual event returns to Staffordshire County Showground.

Gates will open at 4pm with the display starting at 7pm.
