BARNSLEY’S first ever ‘Big Weekend’ was a resounding success, seeing the town centre filled with dinosaurs, joggers, the colours of the Pride celebration and a host of multicultural delights.
The weekend kicked off with the opening of the new Library @ The Lightbox, before the Mayor’s Parade gave local volunteers and groups a platform to show what they can offer to the town.
People were then able to take part in the town centre’s first ever 5k fun run, sample a range of cultures at the Destination Barnsley International Festival, and celebrate diversity with Pride Barnsley on Sunday.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
