Old pal of the blog Laura Tarburton has been in touch to let me know that she’s organised a lovely Luxury Winter Craft, Gift and Food Festival, which will take place this Sunday 17th November 2019 at Brownhills Community Centre from 11-3pm.

This looks to be a very classy event with some really great stalls – and they’re also being catered for by Bean and Baked, my favourite local tea and cake emporium!

If you have any questions or enquiries, you can contact Laura on 07713 634811 or email LauraHucker@Yahoo.co.uk. You can visit the event’s Facebook page here.

Brownhills Community Centre and their new Lamp arts space are the home of Brownhills Community Association, and is situated just by the Miner Island in central Brownhills. They always have lots going on for people from the town – and the wider community – to enjoy.

The Community (or Activity) Centre is what my generation would know as ‘The Annexe’ – the old Central Boy’s School, now a bustling community resource. To find out more about the events and activities there, you can pop in or call them on 01543 452119.

The Community Association have lots of stuff going on, and loads of great facilities, right in the heart of Brownhills. I love what they’re about and all the great things they’re doing.
