The sun is shinning, schools are out and the Summer holidays are upon us, three reasons to cheer! In fact there's four reasons because with fantastic events happening across the borough, Solihull, has all the entertainment and activities right on your door step this weekend and the week ahead!

As I have said before remember this is only a flavour of what's happening for the complete listing of local events click here so you don't miss out.

If you can't see an event you are organising on our list, you can tell us about it, free of charge, here and I will get it added on to the listings for you.

On at the moment the Costa del Solihull Beach  at Touchwood  Shopping Centre, brings a touch of Rio, ready for the Summer Olympics to the region. There's a  packed schedule of entertainment, as Samba music and festival fever hits the town, on until the 4th September,  this year the fun is extended into the evenings for the first time. Also, to mark the opening ceremony of the Rio Olympics on Saturday August 9 guests will be able to embrace the Brazilian beats and really get into the carnival spirit.
