Two big events in West Bromwich this weekend are expected to attract thousands of people to celebrate St George's Day.
On Saturday (20 April) medieval mayhem will take over the Manor House Museum in Hall Green Road for a family fun day from 11am-3pm. Visitors can see the Jester juggling with fire, marvel at the medieval magician, have a go on the bouncy castle and scale the climbing wall. There's also birds of prey, wandering minstrels, face painting and crafts. Admission is free, with a small charge for some activities. On Sunday (21 April), there's a parade and family event organised by the Stone Cross St George group. The parade, which is in its 15th year, starts at 10am from Westminster Road in Stone Cross at the junction with Marsh Lane and finishes in Dartmouth Park with a family event including re-enactments, archery, live music, stalls and lots more. The parade will be accompanied by the Royal British Legion's motorcycle section, scooter clubs and veterans - led by a carriage carrying Miss Tipton and Georgie the Dragon. Road closures are will be in place as the parade passes. The parade is expected to arrive at Dartmouth Park at around 11.45am with entertainment happening throughout the day. Admission is free. Sandwell Council leader Councillor Darren Cooper said he hoped everyone enjoyed the St George's weekend. "The events are going to attract thousands of people and I hope the weather is good for both days and everyone has a great time," he added.
