Bigger and better Chelmund's Day takes place next weekend

RESIDENTS are busy getting ready for the third annual Chelmund’s Day, taking place next weekend.

There will be stalls, games, live music and many other family activities on the day, which celebrates Chelmsley Wood’s community and heritage.

A VIP appearance by a band of Saxons acknowledges the area’s ancient past, but there will also be some nods to more recent history – such as the ‘bogey on a stick’ coconut shy.

Northern Star Arts, Chelmsley Wood Baptist Church, The Three Trees Centre and Windy Arbor/Coleshill Heath Schools are among the groups who will be involved.

This year’s event – which is being billed as the biggest yet – will take place at the Bishop Wilson School on Saturday, July 19. Activities run from 11am-3pm.
