This free, all-levels session is a great opportunity to reconnect with nature, stretch out in the fresh air, and enjoy a moment of calm in the heart of the community.

Bring a blanket, pack a picnic, and sing along to the classic soundtrack under the open sky — it’s a throwback experience perfect for all ages. Then, on 12 July, unleash your inner dancing queen at DISCOS FOR GROWN UPS at the O2 Institute Birmingham. With floor-filling hits from the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s, a disco ball glow, and a crowd ready to party, it’s an unforgettable night for anyone who loves a bit of old-school boogie.
