Trad Arts Team

We have extended our usual listings by a day or two to take in two special events presented by the Trad Arts Team at Kings Heath Community Centre.  On 28 March it’s The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, and on 1 May a celebratory May Day Ceilidh.  Both events are ticketed so don’t hang about.  Plus April events across Birmingham and a bit beyond.

Events marked in purple are not organised by the Team, but include our members or are run by people who share our aims.
