sparvaz — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:27:25 +0000

The Get Walking Project, Birmingham will be hosting a Taster Walk at the Pink Picnic at Cannon Hill Park. The Pink Picnic is aimed at the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community and their friends and families. Following the successful format of last year’s event in Cannon Hill Park. Birmingham LGBT Community Trust is again advertising the event as ‘no bars, no funfair, no charge’.

Everybody is welcome, and invited to bring a picnic, blanket, games and a sense of fun! Birmingham LGBT Community Trust, which works with and for the LGBT community in and around Birmingham, organises the picnic as a more low key event in contrast to the Pride Festival in May, which centres around the bars and clubs in the gay village.
The Taster Walk will encompass woodlands, plantations, allotments and the river surrounding the park.
So some along, enjoy a picnic and spend some time discovering what Cannon Hill Park has to offer.
The meeting point will be The Bandstand at the park at 2.30pm on 31st July.
