Stage set for tenth, final Worksop's Got Talent, with support from Bassetlaw Council

A Bassetlaw councillor community grant of £800 has helped the show to stage its grand finale, contributing to the event’s production costs.

The Council has been a proud supporter of the Worksop talent show since it began back in 2016.

This year’s finale takes place on Friday, November 6, with doors opening at 6pm and the show starting at 7pm.

The event will bring together 700 audience members as 12 finalists take to the stage in pursuit of the coveted Worksop's Got Talent title.

This year’s judging panel includes Coronation Street actor Kyran Bowes, professional footballer Ella Rutherford, Love Island star Tommy Murphy, and This Morning presenter Jordan Cox.

James Clarke, Co-ordinator of Worksop’s Got Talent said: “Worksop's Got Talent has become a real community celebration over the last ten years, bringing together people of all ages to support local performers and showcase the incredible talent we have across our area.

"The continued support from Bassetlaw District Council has played an important role in helping the event grow year after year, allowing us to put on a professional show that gives our finalists a fantastic experience.

“We're incredibly grateful for this year's Councillor Community Grant, which will help us continue creating a memorable evening for performers, their families and the hundreds of people who come together to cheer them on. It's events like this that bring communities closer together and create lasting memories."

Over the last 10-years, Worksop’s Got Talent has raised over £185,000 for charity, as well as giving local talent the chance to shine in front of a sell-out audience.

Celebrities such as Simon Cowell, James Corden, and others have also lent support over the years.

Chair of Bassetlaw District Council and ward member for Worksop North-West Coun Sybil Fielding spoke on behalf of councillors who contributed to the event.

She said: "Events like Worksop's Got Talent show the very best of our community. Not only do they provide a platform for local performers to showcase their talents, but they also bring people together and create a real sense of pride in our town.

“It is fantastic to see the event continue to grow and attract such strong support year after year. We are delighted to help support this year's finale through the Councillor Community Grant scheme and look forward to seeing another memorable evening that celebrates the talent and community spirit that makes Worksop so special."

Councillors who contributed towards Worksop’s Got Talent are: Coun Sybil Fielding, Coun Debroah Merryweather, Coun Fraser Merryweather, Coun Madelaine Richardson, Coun Clayton Tindle, and Coun Tony Eaton.
