REDDITCH residents can enjoy a host of summer events across the borough with a new events programme.
The packed Summer Fun in Redditch programme spreads over at least 21 dates this year, from the town centre to Morton Stanley Park and across Arrow Valley Country Park.
It includes two all-day ‘Funtopias’, the Green Fair, and two funfairs – as well as a family fun day for the Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity and a Vintage Day at the Bandstand from Redditch BID.
Redditch Borough Council’s portfolio holder for leisure Coun Joanne Beecham, said: “We have had amazing feedback about the Jubilee celebrations which took place across the borough, and we are looking forward to a host of entertainment around the Queen’s Baton Relay next month on top of the summer events programme.
“With so many historic events to mark, it is only right we hold off on Morton Stanley Festival this year as it wouldn’t get the attention it deserves.
“We have recently surveyed residents about leisure and events and from the results a new strategy will be drawn up, which will see a new programme of fun being rolled out next year and there will be even more for everyone to enjoy.
“In the meantime, as well as the summer activities we have planned I hope our residents enjoy our wonderful parks and open spaces which the borough boasts.”
Council Leader, Coun Matt Dormer, said: “We need to keep unlocking Redditch’s potential, and this includes our events offer. I am looking forward to seeing what our residents told us they wanted to see becoming a reality next year.”
