Details of this year’s Brownhills Canalside Festival have kindly been supplied by The Clayhanger Kid himself, Brian Stringer – this yeart it’s Sunday, 26th June 2016.
Hi Bob
This year’s Brownhills Canalside Festival is on Sunday 26th June 2016 and runs from 10 am till 4pm.
The canoe centre will be open all day for various activities and the Community Association are using one of our tents for handing out info leaflets and I believe they’ve asked the camera club to put on an exhibition.
All the usual stalls will be there except the book stall, as well as the Lichfield and Hatherton Restoration Trust.
I’ve sorted the musical acts this year and they are as follows:
The Aldridge Ukulele Band (10:30am-11:45am)
Mercia Brass Band (12:15pm-1:30pm) and
Wildfire Folk (2:15pm-3:30pm)Zippy the Clown will be on stage from 1:30pm–2:00pm to entertain the kids but he will be around the site all day.
The bird of prey display and the parrot man are also bringing their birds for us.
The Ikon boat (a floating childrens art class) will attend as well as the trip boat.
The Uke band have gone to great expense to bring a special guest this year, so bring autograph books along!
All this along with the usual Tombola, and numerous craft stalls.
If anything changes I’ll let you know.
Cheers Bob,
Brian
