MK Biergarten is celebrating its 10th anniversary this weekend
QuantumPanda2024@reddit
Bossa Boyz are playing on Sunday

I feel like it's probably worth noting the location for these events if you're gonna post a list like this. Half of them give no indication of the location. Great idea though, always good to know what's on locally!
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
Thanks for feedback, good idea. Majority are/will be within around 10km of the centre.
I’m new to Reddit, am hoping when my account standing improves I’ll be able to link straight to event webpages so this is a bit of a stop gap!
GreenAmigo@reddit
Could you add a link or pin? I aint a reddit expert ...it would help people better plan going where etc....get your numbers up too.
ricopicouk@reddit
I can put you as an approved poster here, so you will see no restrictions on r/MiltonKeynes.
I don't think you woukd have issues posting links, but if you do, send me a mod mail.
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
Thanks for that. From my research it seems there are two things to be wary of… first the mods (which thankfully you are all lovely at mk!) but secondly is automated Reddit actions and monitoring they have in place to prevent spam and all that stuff. Will try though!
Fluffy_Source_255@reddit
I'm assuming the list is AI generated (hence the gaps) and the content has therefore not been checked prior to posting here.
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
All events are checked before posting here. AI isn’t accurate/reliable enough yet, if you can find a way to ensure it never hallucinates let me know!
TheMopFromMars@reddit
Looking forward to the gaming market!!
ricopicouk@reddit
I was interested until I saw it is ticketed.
TheMopFromMars@reddit
It’s ticketed for a reason. To prevent thieves. It’s a small price to pay - my ticket was £4.
ricopicouk@reddit
Odd thing to have to pay for. Where does that money go?
GreenAmigo@reddit
Pay for the hall, security lights etc...
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
Yes they look like fun! If anyone is interested here are the links to see what’s going on:

Thank you! Love these posts by the way 😊
SerendipitousCrow@reddit
There's also a beer and cider festival in wolverton this weekend
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
Great! Added it to the list above. Thanks for sharing.
darybrain@reddit
Why are Northampton based events showing here such as the wine and pizza pairing and why doesn't it show as Northampton? Thought it might be nice to take someone and then saw the location — can't be bothered with train and buses.
TheCityBrief@reddit (OP)
Hello, yeah, I initially included events and things going on that could be 'commutable', particularly as not everyone lives in the city centre. Great feedback though, 20 miles is probably too far. Maybe I can add an icon or something to show if it's a drive or not in the city centre.
