Trad Arts Team

Spring is a great time to be out and about, whether it is to listen to birdsong in the park, to dance, or to make your own music with friends.  May Day is an important diary date – look out for our Celebration Ceilidh that day.  Later in the month there is more dancing, another Art Market at Kings Heath Community Centre and storytelling on both sides of the city.  So get out and about and join us at one of our events.
