Our first issue of 2026 is here, and it's got plenty to keep the January blues at bay. Inside: the hidden stories behind Stoke-on-Trent's ceramics legacy, told through the city's new heritage trail markers; a look back at 2025 and forward into 2026 for the county's music scene; a remarkable restoration project bringing beavers back to a rare peat bog near Newcastle-under-Lyme; ten brilliant free or low-cost museums for culture-filled days out without the price tag; Pugin After Dark, a brand-new festival in Alton celebrating the Victorian architect's life and legacy; and our pick of the best winter walks across the county, from peaceful woodland strolls to dramatic moorlands scenery. Free to read, made for Staffordshire.
