Worksop's Got Talent is back - here's when and how to audition

The event will take place on November 26 at North Notts Arena and planning is well underway for the biggest show yet.

Auditions are coming soon and you can apply now.

Over the past four years, Worksop’s Got Talent has won four awards, sold out four times with 700 people attending yearly, and raised almost £40,000 for blindness charity Retina UK.

The event has been hosted and judged by various celebrities including Coronation Street’s Kym Marsh, Sheffield Wednesday’s Liam Palmer, various Love Island stars, GRAMMY-winning songwriter, Eliot Kennedy and more.

This year’s show is set to be an ‘incredible comeback’ with the event’s biggest celebrity judges yet, along with lots of special moments to celebrate five years of fundraising.

Auditions will be taking place in August and September, and registrations are open now.
