Will the sun shine beside the seaside in B37?

ORGANISERS will be hoping that today's glorious weather goes on a little longer, with a beach party planned in Kingshurst next weekend.

The event, taking place on the Parade next Saturday (June 30), will bring the British seaside to B37.

Taking place from 11am-4pm, the event is one of several being hosted in North Solihull as part of the Mayor's Community Weekend.

Scores of events are being held around the region, with organisers receiving funding from the Big Lottery Fund.

Residents locally can also look forward to an afternoon tea at Ipswich House, Chelmsley Wood, and take part in a project to paint a mural at the Community Victory Garden.

You can find out about the full programme of activities and timings for individual events at the weekend's official website.
