Non Profit Promotion. Free Promotion and Advice. Reviews. What’s On

Scunthorpe Nights is a local non-profit solo run platform dedicated to promoting the best of Scunthorpe’s food, tourism and entertainment. I fully understand that getting the word out to local people/customers can be a challenge with very little support available, which is why I created Scunthorpe Nights back in 2013. 

Scunthorpe Nights is offering you something entirely free: promotional features and advertising on various platforms from Facebook, X, Tiktok and the Scunthorpe Nights website.

I am passionate about driving local business and tourism and have built a significant following over the years. My Facebook page alone currently has a total reach of over 729,000 local people and a monthly website hitting 40k actively looking for places to eat and things to do in the Scunthorpe and wider Lincolnshire area.

I would love to feature your venue or event to this highly engaged audience. 


Here are two easy ways to get started:

Request a Review/Visit: Arrange a visit to experience your restaurant, venue or event firsthand and I’ll write an honest, engaging review often complimented by a video montage to be featured prominently on Scunthorpe Nights website and across social media channels. I do ask as a courtesy and to help me fund the voluntary solo project of Scunthorpe Nights for Press Pass +1, complimentary or a discount.

Submit for a Listing or Article: If a review isn’t right for you at the moment, you can share your event or offerings for free via the public facebook group which has over 6,000 members.

I make no monetary gain, nor do I monetise my posts or reach. Some local venues and promoters have supported the network over the years with donations.

Q&A

Who pays for website hosting domain and running of the website?

I do, I don’t receive monetary rewards but on occasion I have offered sponsorship ad space and sponsorship to support the website. Previous sponsors include The Wortley House Hotel and Westview Live Gigs.

Why do you do it if you don’t get paid?

Well, it’s not about the money for me, it’s about supporting local and that is something I am passionate about. I get to attend some really cool events and taste some delicious food and then write about it. Venues and events struggle enough without having to pay for advertising and there is a lack of places to advertise.

What annoys you about running the network?

When people comment negative s**t on events or community news. Or the the classic “What’s the best part about Scunthorpe” and many people find themselves absolutely hilarious to say “the road out”.

Why do you like running the network?

I like helping people promote, I love to see events and venues get the customers and acknowledgement they deserve. I love to see videos and photos of busy events and see positive comments about them. I’ve met some lovely people over the years through Scunthorpe Nights, and some not so nice. I get to see the town in a positive light and just how much is happening that people don’t seem to appreciate or see.
