The complete entertainment and events line-up for this weekend’s Godiva Festival has been announced and is available on the official website.
Neighbourhood Forums

Welcome to ECHO’s new website
July sees ECHO reaching its 400th issue and to coincide with that momentous event, we are pleased to present a new look website.
As well as regular news updates, there is a detailed events diary with maps showing the locations of venues and a growing archive of features from past issues. In addition, the whole site is searchable from the bar in the top right corner of the window.
We hope that you find it to be useful.
