2024 is the fortieth anniversary of the 1984/85 miners’ strike, a dispute that still resonates today. In this hard-hitting musical comedy we follow the fortunes of three sisters determined to set up a branch of ‘Women Against Pit Closures’. We’re Not Going Back tackles the resilience of working communities, the make-and-mend fabric of family and the power of sticking two fingers up to a government hell-bent on destruction… … and all with humour, song and a six-pack of Babycham.

In celebration of Selby Town Council’s 50th anniversary year one of the world's premiere brass bands, Carlton Main Frickley Colliery Band, present a special one off concert featuring familiar music from the 1970s alongside a selection of the band's favourite pieces. The event will take place in the magnificent surroundings of Selby Abbey.
