Our good friends at Sustainable Life are running their festival of the noble plum again this August, and are looking for volunteers, activities and stalls. Community events are free and businesses can get involved for a £20 fee.

This is a vibrant celebration festival of the Ten Acres Stirchley site and the River Rea, including a range of family friendly activities such as dance, drama and art/crafts. The festival will highlight the local area’s beauty and abundance with a focus on the two large plum groves on site, and will include walks, tours and conservation workshops/activities.
