Something For Everyone To Enjoy In Tamworth This Summer
People in Staffordshire are being urged to enjoy the great outdoors in the market town of Tamworth during the forthcoming summer season. Tamworth Borough Council's jam-packed 'Great Outdoors' programme, put together by the local authority's arts and events team, includes a variety of bandstand concerts, outdoor cinema screenings, plus the return of favourites such as the We Love Tamworth festival.
The programme of bandstand concerts and performances, which begins on Sunday 12 June, will see a variety of bands, singers and clubs taking to the stage within Tamworth Castle Grounds on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer. This year's line-up includes a circus skills workshop and interactive storytelling session, as well as the likes of The City of Lichfield Concert Band, Amington Band, The Jays, Tamworth Wind Band, Brindley-Hunt, Tamworth Voices, '58 s Blues Band, The Glamophones and Liquid Brass.
The Castle Grounds will also play host to an award-winning adaptation of The Jungle Book which will be performed by Tamworth's own Misnomer Theatre Company and Tamworth Pantomime Company on Saturday 18 June at 6pm. Tickets cost £6 and £4 concessions and must be purchased in advance. Then, on Sunday 26 June, is the return of the annual Gate Gallop charity event at Anker Valley with a fun run and a 10k road race. The event includes a barbecue, refreshments and a bouncy castle.
The second instalment of outdoor theatre will be served up in Dosthill Park, Tamworth, with a production of Danny, the Champion of the World, on Saturday 2 July. The Roald Dahl classic will be brought to life by the open-air theatre company Illyria at 3pm with tickets priced at £8, £6 concessions and £25 for a family ticket.
However, the popular outdoor cinema event on Saturday 13 August has already sold out with 1,300 people snapping up tickets to watch Dirty Dancing and The Lost Boys on a giant screen in the Castle Grounds. This summer will also see a series of Saturday Games in the Park events in the Castle Grounds on July 30, August 6, 13 and 27. Sessions between 1pm ad 4pm are free to join.
The We Love Tamworth festival returns on Saturday 3 September with fun activities for the whole family including fairground rides, stalls, games, Tamworth's strongest man competition, the Amington Brass Band and the Children's Zone.
