That we are hopefully get back to some sort of normal now let us see what is on in Newark.
Many venues have opened but do not offer anywhere near a full experience as they have done in the past. Those that are open rightfully insist you wear a face covering, observe social distancing rules and use anti-bacterial wipes and gels on a regular basis.
Here is a list of key sights in Newark and how they are affected:
Newark Showground
Delighted to say the site is open again with lots going on; Nightflix is still running with a full schedule into June. Lots going on with the famous Antique Fair returning in early June so please click the link for full details of upcoming events.
