Young people in Broseley are being asked to note the date Sunday 21 September 2014.

Broseley Youth Partnership is crossing its fingers that the sun is going to shine between 12pm and 4pm when the annual youth day will be taking place at Birchmeadow Park and Centre.

The partnership has worked hard to make sure that the festival is the best yet, with many of the local young people and clubs helping with the organisation and planning.

Jean Jones, Chair of the Partnership and local Shropshire Councillor for Broseley, said:

“There is something for all ages this year: we have skateramps, a climbing wall, bucking bronco, gladiator and inflatables, arts and crafts, cake decorating, football and cricket matches, a fun run and much more.

“You can also try non-alcoholic cocktails from Shifties, and there is the chance to win a cash prize in the treasure hunt competition.”

Entry to the festival is just £1 by purchasing a wrist band which will allow access to all of the activities.  Refreshments and drinks will also be on sale.

Jean Jones added:

“We have already secured funding towards the event from Shropshire Council Bronze Level Tasking, Shropshire Towns and Rural Housing, and Broseley and Barrow Local Joint Committee, and are actively seeking further financial help or sponsorship.   A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who is supporting and participating in this event.”
