It’s set to be a weekend full of celebrating diversity, music, comedy and fast planes across the region, with arenas, theatres, city centres and parks all putting on big events.
The arenas will be rocking across the region this weekend as a legendary comic brings his on-going national tour to a Birmingham arena, while Wolverhampton city centre will be awash with rainbow stripes and the skies over Shropshire will be lit up by extraordinary flying displays.
