HUNDREDS of people from across the West Midlands enjoyed a fun-filled summer afternoon in Arrow Valley Country Park earlier this month at the annual Green Fair and Lions Fun Day.
Activities on Sunday included displays and demonstrations from the army, fire, and police services and loads of ‘have-a-go’ entertainment.
Visitors also got to see ‘Sparky’ the Robot who is made entirely from recycled materials as well as this year’s special feature – live music from a pedal powered stage.
Redditch Borough Council’s Leisure Portfolio Holder, Coun Jo Beecham, said: “I’ve heard wonderful reports from my colleagues and constituents alike about how much they enjoyed this year’s Green Fair.
“I myself particularly enjoyed the flower-making and spinning wheel.
“The hard work of all the partners involved truly paid off and it was a huge success, drawing people from far and wide to our beautiful town.”
Coun Matt Dormer, Leader of Redditch Borough Council, added: “Arrow Valley Country Park is a superb venue that, thanks to its central location, can be easily accessed by so many people across the town and beyond.
“It’s great events like this can thrive there.
“Thank you to the partners for organising, the visitors for attending and to the sun for shining all day.”
The Green Fair and Lions Fun Day is free annual event put on by the borough council and the Redditch Lions.
The event featured the 37th Signal Regiment, Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, and West Mercia Police.
