This week brings a bundle of exciting announcements for families in and around Birmingham. From free activities to new venues and fun menus, there’s plenty to explore and enjoy.
One highlight is a youth club in Birmingham making a remarkable impact on local young people. Youth clubs play a vital role in shaping lives — many of us treasure the friendships and experiences gained there during our formative years. The passionate women behind this initiative deserve our full support as we hope similar clubs spread across the Midlands.
In family dining news, a new Nando’s is preparing to open by the riverside in Kidderminster, conveniently located next to Weaver’s Wharf shopping park and the new playground — perfect for families looking to combine fun and food.

Merry Hill’s newest store has opened its doors, described as a “playground of fun” with a wide range of plush toys and seasonal activities that will captivate children of all ages.
Twycross Zoo is also rolling out a magical new lantern event later this year, promising a captivating experience for families.
And for those who love air shows, the Red Arrows will be flying over RAF Cosford this weekend as part of their Midlands visit ahead of a major USA tour — an incredible sight not to be missed.
Wishing you a fantastic week filled with fun and discovery!
