Hi all. I am about to start writing an events listing application

a 5, 10 and 15 mile radius of their postcode. Does anyone know of a
set of
classes/library that can provide this, would rather not fork out on a
bespoke piece of kit. Any suggestions appreciated!
Considering that you said "any", I can't screw-up by answering.
Besides the pygmy running around with red feet, you might find this of interest:

As mentioned previously, there are TIGER data, but that may be an overkill because you can build a entire Street Atlas type program from that (been there, done that) -- it contains a massive amount of data beside postal codes.
