The popular Highland Hoedown event features hands-on experiences, including grooming a nine-month-old Highland cow named Ghia and meeting a newborn calf. Following its success over May half term, the event returns on June 6 and 7. In addition to the Highland cows, visitors can interact with a variety of small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, and ducks.https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/calls-to-end-legal-loophole-as-cyclist-causes-fatal-collision-in-england/Sat, 30 May 2026 05:05:05 +0000https://birminghamdaily.co.uk/calls-to-end-legal-loophole-as-cyclist-causes-fatal-collision-in-england/Following the tragic death of an 80-year-old pedestrian, calls are growing for the introduction of a speed limit for all cyclists in England. Tony Jenkins, widower of Patricia Jenkins, has appealed to the Labour Party government to close a legal loophole that currently exempts cyclists from speed limits. Patricia Jenkins was struck while crossing Mottram Road near Stalybridge, Tameside, on Sunday, 4 May 2025, by 41-year-old cyclist John Andrew. Andrew was participating in the Tour de Manc sportive, an annual charity cycling event with over 1,200 participants.
