“We hope businesses and organisations that we have supported over the years join in the jubilations with us.
“The Western Gazette plays an important role in our community and this is as much a celebration for our readers and advertisers as it is for us. We hope to see them at the party.”

Westland Leisure Complex, the Quedam Shopping Centre and Perspicuity are among the businesses supporting the event.

To mark its 275th anniversary, the newspaper is also publishing a souvenir supplement – and is looking for readers’ memories and anecdotes of the Western Gazette over the years.
Former employee Terry Penny has shared his collection of photographs of staff at work and at play, two of which are printed on this page.
