Solihull Family Festival

Our brand-new Solihull Family Festival will be a weekend full of FREE fun activities for the whole family!

Step into a world of wonder adventure as we turn Solihull town centre into a vibrant playground!

If you were lucky enough to meet Moby the 18-metre-long inflatable whale at last year’s ‘A Whale’s Tale’ you will know how amazing the interactive theatre sessions were. Due to popular demand, we are thrilled to confirm that Moby will be back on Saturday 3^rd and Sunday 4^th August.

A small number of free tickets for the interactive theatre shows inside Moby will be available on Saturday and Sunday – visit the Solihull BID gazebo in Mell Square to enquire and book.
