In the build up to and during the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games, Sandwell Council is running an engaging and inclusive programme of cultural events across the Borough.

Shine a Light Festivals will take place across each of Sandwell’s six towns and aim to showcase Sandwell’s rich, diverse culture and showcase the best of arts, sport and culture from all ages, background and parts of the community.

We will be holding a celebration event across the weekend days at Lightwoods Park, 10am-4pm, and an evening extravaganza at Victoria Park, 4pm-9pm.

There are several ways to do this, such as performing on one of our stages or performance areas at our evening event or displaying artwork during the day. We would welcome input from already established groups such as drama clubs or choirs, or even individual students. For further information on the Shine a Light Festival’s you can visit: www.shinealightfestival.co.uk
