Millions of British children have never been to an art gallery, theatre or stage show, according to research from Visit Birmingham. We find it shocking and sad that the home of the wonderful Thinktank museum, Birmingham Hippodrome and so many other brilliant attractions should be in the position of reporting on such disappointing findings.

It’s our first blast of make-believe springtime to help us through the last throes of winter. Nearby Attingham Park also has swathes of these delicate flowers on show. This year, as icy conditions and snow flurries have taken grip in our neck of the woods (more below freezing conditions [...] Read more »
