Residents and students across Royal Sutton Coldfield are invited to capture this year's theme 'HOME' through their lens – whether it’s a local landmark, a sunlit corner of your local park, a bustling high street, a quiet moment with family or everyday moments of community life.

Don't miss out — send your entries by email, post, messaging or tagging us using .

It’s time for Erdington Arts Forum’s Evening of Creativity at OIKOS Cafe again!

We're ACTUALLY promoting this for once - not because we're scared August isn't busy, but, quite the opposite... It's going to be one of our most jam packed shows and we want you to get a good seat!

There's a really incredible line up - not just of performers but of stall-holders too.

Get a ticket in advance to avoid disappointment.

21st August - Oikos Cafe, Erdington - the Evening of Creativity. Never missed a month, going strong.
