A new monthly Friday evening gathering is launching in the Market Place, inviting residents to enjoy entertainment from local performers.
Friday Night Live will launch on 29th May, organised by Melksham Town Council. The Market Place will be transformed into a hub with tables, chairs and local traders from 6pm.
The event is set to run on the last Friday of the month and will include entertainment from local performers, including live music, dancers, poets and speakers.
The event was proposed by Cllr Jennie Westbrook at the town council’s Community Development meeting in March. She said, “Bringing more free, accessible events to Melksham is something I have long been championing, so I’m absolutely thrilled to see Friday Night Live come to life. This initiative will bring a fresh buzz to our Market Place, transforming it into a lively and welcoming space for everyone to enjoy.
“With live entertainment on the last Friday of each month, we’re creating the perfect way to kick off the weekend, supporting local performers, boosting our high street and encouraging more people to spend time in our town. I’d warmly encourage residents to join us for our first event in May and be part of something new and exciting. This is just the beginning, and I’m confident it will grow into a much-loved feature of Melksham’s burgeoning evening scene.”
Melksham Town Council will launch the Friday evening entertainment as a trial, with a plan for continuous review.
