Episode 2 – Kings Heath Catches Fire (And More)

Join Chris Smith & Chris Crouch for a catch-up on everything happening in and around Kings Heath.

We talk about the dramatic electric vehicle fire that brought the high street to a standstill for over three hours (everyone was fine), and a timely warning about scammers targeting the Kings Heath Artisan Market with fake pitch bookings on Facebook.

Then it's on to what's coming up — and there's a lot. The FIFA World Cup kicks off next Thursday (Mexico vs South Africa, 8pm), and if you want to watch it without the full football fervour, Hublon on Institute Road are doing something a bit different with a 14-inch TV from 2004. There's also a drawing for beginners course at Cartlands Tea Room on Thursday 4th June (£10, reserve a place), a mobile recycling truck on Yardley Wood Road on Friday 5th, sunflower planting at the Community Centre on Saturday 6th, and the One Retreat Wellness Festival at Highbury Hall — 40 classes, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, a live DJ and a market. Highbury Hall also has an Open Day on Sunday 7th with free tickets on Eventbrite.

Plus — Councillor Jordan Phillip's monthly drop-in sessions at the Community Centre, and an early heads-up on the HiViz Comic Con coming in September.
