    Inside Oswestry’s Maona Cinema: African Heritage, Indie Film and New Beginnings

    Charlotte's been to Maona Cinema on Arthur Street to catch up with founder Tatenda Jamera — just a few weeks after the independent cinema reopened its doors in October. Tatenda first appeared on the podcast earlier in the year while campaigning to save the building following the closure of KinoKulture. Now, with films screening again and the community returning, he reflects on the early days of the new chapter. Tatenda explains what sets Maona apart, from its Zimbabwean name meaning “you have seen” to the ambition to spotlight African cinema alongside a diverse programme chosen with local people.

    Santa's Village In Oswestry

    Charlotte visits Park Hall Stadium to see how Amanda Jones has transformed the venue into a full Santa’s Village — starting with a gold coin wishing ritual, the North Pole walkway, an elf workshop, and a village filled with real Christmas trees and interactive displays. There’s even a butterfly garden, Candyland, mulled wine, letters to Santa, reindeer food making and a nostalgic grotto where children pick their own present. A brilliant look at a huge community effort created in just a few weeks. The Oswestry Life Podcast is sponsored by Martin and Jones - helping you to get seen.
