On with the lights

And a week after the city centre lights went on - complete with camels and the Lord Mayor in a sleigh - Acocks Green switched on its lights, with Black Country comic Lizzie Wiggins doing the honours.

Christmas really does seem to get earlier every year.

There are some more pictures over at the Acocks Green Focus Group.

The Farmers' Market seemed to be back up close to strength this month after a quiet October.

Acocks Green Farmers Market Today

Pictures from the last one - on a less than sunny day. This Saturday looks to be rather brighter and warmer, so there's no excuse not to pop down and sample the range of produce on offer.

9am - 3pm on the slip road directly opposite Holy Souls Church on the Warwick Road.

Diary Date - Acocks Green Farmers' Market & Fun Day Sat 16 June

It used to be all fields round here and while we can't bring that back, we can at least bring you the taste of the country.

This coming weekend will see the inaugural Acocks Green Farmers Market & Summer Fun Day. Lots of hard work has gone into delivering this from Sandy and the Acocks Green Village BID team, so do try to get along.

It is being staged on the slip road on the Warwick Road opposite Holy Souls Church.

Further markets are planned for every third Saturday of the month. These have been a great success when held elsewhere across the city, so please do support your local village!

And if the prospect of mouthwatering food isn't quite enough - how about entertainment from King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys? 
Events kick off from 9am and the market will be there until 4pm.

This promises to be unmissable....
