Tue, 06 Nov 2012 12:47:03 +0000

17 Nov 2012 - Community at Mell Square

FREE (suitable for under 18s)

Solihull town centre will be positively fizzing with Festive spirit this Christmas as the whole town comes together to create a winter wonderland complete with snow, live reindeer and penguins, the tantalising smells of roast chestnuts and mulled wine and, of course, Father Christmas himself.

The countdown to Christmas kicks off on Saturday 17th November, when the Christmas Lights switch-on returns, by popular demand.

At 1pm Father Christmas will be flying in straight from the North Pole to Touchwood’s Manor Walk entrance on Saturday 17 November to officially open his free grotto and he is inviting local children to join him in kicking-off the festivities between 1-4pm.

Children will be able to hop on board Father Christmas’s sleigh to meet the man himself, his real-life reindeers and penguins. Guests will also be treated to some delicious festive delights from Touchwood’s top restaurants and listening to the beautiful sounds of the centre’s Christmas choir.

From 3.45pm, crowds are set to gather in Mell Square for an afternoon packed full of fun, games, freebies, music and entertainment, hosted by Ed and Rachel from the Heart FM breakfast show. There will also be special guests: Alex Winters – the hugely-popular CBeebies presenter – Postman Pat and his cat Jess and a special Harry Potter show, complete with Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape.

At 4.45pm there will be a spectacular parade along the High Street towards Mell Square, led by Father Christmas and his reindeer, along with Shirley Pipe Band and more than 20 well known children’s characters and stilt walkers handing out sweets and treats.

With Father Christmas in attendance, the lights switch on can get underway at 5pm. There’s even going to be snow (no matter what the weather forecast!) so visitors can expect the lights switch on to be a truly magical moment.

Just a week later, on Saturday November 24th, the Solihull Christmas Fayre returns with a fantastic launch for the whole family in Mell Square. Expect to find stalls bursting with seasonal treats, handmade Christmas gifts and lots of delicious food to sample, including the ever-popular bratwurst, chocolate, crêpes and roast chestnuts, as well as an outdoor bar. The Fayre will be open every day until Sunday 23rd December.

What else is happening?

Across December there are special events happening across the town centre. Visitors will be treated to the sounds of local choirs, regular farmers and specialty food markets, exclusive customer shopping events and entertainment in John Lewis and a service and celebration for the Menorah switch on - making a visit to Solihull a real Christmas treat throughout the run up to Christmas.

And not forgetting the traditional Panto (oh, no we wouldn’t!). Dick Whittington runs from Friday 14 December to Monday 14th January at the Arts Complex with all the traditional fun and downright silliness for the whole family.

Late night shopping and free parking

Across late November and throughout December many of the shops will remain open late into the evening. Touchwood has extended opening hours during December until 8pm on weekdays, 9pm on Thursdays and 7pm on Saturdays, with John Lewis staying open until 9pm on weeknights and 10pm on Thursdays 13th and 20th December. Stores across Mell Square, Poplar Road, Station Road and the High Street will also be opening late. Check individual stores for details.

For visitors planning a Christmas night shopping or partying in Solihull, parking will be free for cars arriving after 6pm in Touchwood, John Lewis, Marks and Spencer, Church Hill, Mell Square and Lode Lane car parks, from Monday to Friday, from Thursday 29th November until Monday 24th December.

Speech Debelle, 17 Nov 2012

Thu, 04 Oct 2012 20:23:01 +0000

17 Nov 2012 - Rock & Pop at The Institute

Speech Debelle is special. Soulful and raw, she blew up seemingly out of nowhere and delivered one of the most critically-acclaimed debut albums of the last few years, the Mercury Music Prize-winning Speech Therapy.

Two years on, having ridden a rollercoaster through life since, shes back, and shes delivered a follow up that packs a powerful punch. If we see her first album as a confessional diary of trials and tribulations, then new album Freedom of Speech is outward-looking, high energy, powerful and engaged.

Sat, 05 May 2012 10:36:30 +0000

17 Nov 2012 - Rock & Pop at The Ballroom Birmingham

On Thursday, 16th October 1980, millions of living rooms across the UK, were set on fire by the blazing performance on Top of the Pops by Adam and the Ants. After 3 ferocious, minutes of ‘Dog Eat Dog’ the phenomenon immediately began and they would dominate the charts for the following few years with extraordinary success. But this was no ‘overnight success’, Adam Ant had been working hard behind the warpaint and feathers for his moment.

It had been the culmination of years of toil; the journey had started at Hornsey College of Art, where Adam had teamed up with some college friends to form the band Bazooka Joe. With Adam on bass guitar, they played the pubs and colleges around London and it was on a cold November night, in 1975, that Adam saw a group that was to change his life forever.

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 21:48:20 +0000

17 Nov 2012 - Rock & Pop at Sunflower Lounge

The Crookes are set to release their second L.P on legendary indie label Fierce Panda this summer after spending the previous year touring relentlessly around the UK and Europe promoting their debut album Chasing After Ghosts.

The Crookes have always subscribed to a truly indie ideal of being in a band, and their 8th full length tour saw their gig count for the year pushed to over 200 shows. The entire second album was written on tour in Europe in their van during a heat wave listening exclusively to Motown and Stiff Records, giving the songs unmistakable sound of summer and youth.

Although the backdrop for these songs may have changed from Northern England to the Continent, they still retain the unmistakable poetry and Romance which The Crookes have become known for. It is an album of intelligent pop music.

17 Nov 2012 - Comedy at Glee Club

A first class guitar-wielding comedian with a captivating voice and wickedly dry sense of humour.

Andy Askins has an expertly crafted routine littered with an eclectic mix of offbeat comic songs and parodies. Popular songs have been rewritten and given a perverse twist to tremendous comic effect.

With impeccable timing, his inventive and quirky songs are peppered with inspired patter and the darker material is sweetened by his impish demeanour which never fails to leave audiences in the palm of his hand.
