IN TRUE STEVE STYLE… THE SHOW MUST GO ON!

It’s been a heartbreaking few days, but we know Steve would want nothing more than for the music to keep playing and everyone to keep dancing.

So, Soul & Motown Night will be going ahead tomorrow, Saturday 31st October, in loving memory of Steve Hindley. ❤️

Please join us at the Free Gardener’s Arms for a night of fantastic Soul & Motown music, with guest DJs Stuart Kelso and David Henderson, celebrating the music, the memories and the man himself.

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we, Steve’s family, share the devastating news of his passing on Sunday 25th October.

​To the community, Steve was the heart and soul of this pub as its proud owner and landlord, and a brilliant DJ who brought so much joy and music to the local area. He was loved by so many for his uniquely funny, witty, and vibrant personality that could light up any room.

​To us, he was the world—a devoted husband, an incredible father, and a deeply loved grandad.

​This is a huge loss for our family, and we know it will be felt deeply by everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. Steve will absolutely never be forgotten. His legacy will live on in the community he built here and the unforgettable memories we all share.

You will be loved and missed more than words can say.

Funeral arrangements will be announced when available.

From Janet, Ben, Sarah and family
