Young musicians, comedians, gymnasts, singers and more from across Newton-le-Willows have once again been battling it out in the Newton Has Junior Talent competition this summer.
The competition had entries from schools right across Newton-le-Willows, with heats taking place throughout the last term before summer.
The young performers were whittled down to the very best of the bunch and competed for the 2026 titles at an event held this week at Newton-le-Willows Primary School. There was even a special video messages of good luck and congratulations from Newton’s own Rick Astley!
Judges said it was incredibly hard to pick winners, with so much fantastic talent on display. In the end, the winners were as follows:

Newton Has Junior Talent was organised by Business For Youth in Newton-le-Willows (BFY), and supported by local schools and many businesses.
