Dee Hirst, Project Curator said: “The show will relaunch many small businesses that have been unable to trade effectively over the last 12 months.

“Most importantly it gives our local community and the Midlands region a great opportunity to experience a continental street party atmosphere without getting on a plane! We want to get that atmosphere that you’re walking down a continental street and its summer, and you want to have fun and have lots of amusing things to do.

“It promises to be inspiring, fun event designed for the whole family to enjoy and have a great day out.

“There will be ample opportunity to select hand crafted and Midlands designed goods for use in the home or garden.

“Behind all this the exhibition will be supporting Covid affected children.”
