This year's Moseley Festival is the

biggest ever organised featuring over

80 creative and community events in

more than 50 locations over 10 days

between 26th June and 5th July 2009.

More local businesses and organisations

have been keen to contribute ideas,

venues and time to ensure that the

2009 Moseley Festival is sure to be one

to remember.

The annual festival, which has been running for over 30 years, brings together creative and artistic expression from Moseley and surrounding areas, and includes visual arts, live classical, contemporary and electronic music, theatre and dance. In addition there are contributions from many of Mosley’s local businesses, restaurants, galleries and public houses that are hosting special events and offering discounts during the course of the festival.

Other festival highlights include a workshop celebrating the music of Handel, inducing a concert in one of Moseley’s most attractive churches, St Mary’s; a four-day beer festival at The Prince of Wales pub; an arts trail taking in studios, houses and installations around central Moseley and a drama, dance and music festival at Queensbridge School.

The Cross pub is hosting a cutting-edge social media seminar organised by the Birmingham Bloggers group; The Prince of Wales Pub is holding Rocky Horror Show parties (including live performances); Rich Batsford’s music by candlelight returns to St Mary’s Church; The Patrick Kavanagh hosts evening of burlesque with Scarlet Fever and a live performance by rising star Ella Edmondson; and the Fighting Cocks hosts ‘ginger fest’, an event celebrating the ginger gene.
