Portfolio holder for leisure services, CouncillorMike Rouse, said: “The new amphitheatre is perfect for this, and is just the right size for the kind of events we can safely run in the post-pandemic era.
“Like many families across Redditch and the whole country I am not going to be able to get away on holiday this year, so Street Theatre is an even more precious event and I know my daughters will love it.
“I look forward to seeing many other families and young people take advantage of this great service.”
All the council’s events are Covid risk assessed, but visitors are asked to follow the hands, face, space guidelines and be respectful of other park users.
The event programme may also be subject to change depending on Government Covid-19 guidance while outdoor performances are subject to change/cancellation due to adverse weather conditions.
