Have fun in the sun!

With the weather warming up in perfect time for Bank Holiday Monday we thought we would put together our top 10 suggestions for this weekend’s Lightwoods Park May Day Festival:

1. Walk or catch the bus to Lightwoods Park. If you do have to bring the car please don’t park it in the street - the car parking at the top of Lightwoods Park is much closer

2. Shake some moves whilst watching Smethwick Fusion’s dance-off between the Jockey Morris Men and the Dhol Empire

3. Try Enville Brewery’s Lightwoods Ale or Black Country Ale’s Bearwood Best Bitter

4. Don’t miss the Punch and Judy Show or the Circus Skills Marquee

5. Get pumped up during the Sandwell Strongest Man Competition

6. Guess how high the skateboarders will jump during the Skatejam

7. Listen to the brass bands, djs, live music on the main stage and catch a preview of tracks from Pete’s Williams fantastic new album and sing along to Musical Youth’s  ‘Pass The Dutchie’

8. Support local businesses and community groups by visiting the stalls

9. Have a picnic and try some of the festival food for sale

10. Have a brilliant ‘IT’S GOOD IN BEARWOOD’ time
