No matter how big or small your garden, everyone can make a difference and create a sanctuary for nature. If every garden played a part, imagine the giant patchwork of habitats that could be created, all the new homes for birds, frogs, toads, hedgehogs, bees, butterflies and other mini-beasts that could be mad and all the mouths that could be fed.

Perhaps you’ll be inspired to start your own new hobby! We will set up light traps in the Wildlife Meadow at Ashwood Nurseries on the previous evening and open them up for you on the lawn outside the Tea Room (opposite the Plant Sales House). Don’t forget to bring your camera. Children are very welcome too: moths are a great way for children to interact with the natural world and surveying moths is a highly educational activity! Mike Williams from Butterfly Conservation West Midlands will be on hand to answer any moth or butterfly related questions you might have. Free event, just turn up. Name Full Address Telephone Service Description From (Years) To (Years) Autism Friendly Film Odeon Cinema, The Embankment, 0300 303 9001 Sunday 22 July, 10.15am 0 99 Screening - The Incredibles 2 Brierley Hill, DY5 1SY (PG) Everyone’s favorite family of superheroes is back in “Incredibles 2” – but this time Helen (voice of Holly Hunter) is in the spotlight, leaving Bob (voice of Craig T. Nelson) at home with Violet (voice of Sarah Vowell) and Dash (voice of Huck Milner) to navigate the day-to-day heroics of “normal” life. It’s a tough transistion for everyone, made tougher by the fact that the family is still unaware of baby Jack-Jack’s emerging superpowers. When a new villain hatches a brilliant and dangerous plot, the family and Frozone (voice of Samuel L. Jackson) must find a way to work together again—which is easier said than done, even when they’re all Incredible.
