West Midlands Metro are helping to celebrate the legacy of last year’s Commonwealth Games by supporting Birmingham Festival 23 which takes place between 28th July and 6th August in Centenary Square. With a handy tramstop at Town Hall for Centenary Square the Metro is ideally placed to transport people to the events and volunteers at the festival will be able to travel on the trams for free.
Birmingham Festival 23 marks the first anniversary of the start of the Commonwealth Games and will be a extravaganza of dance, music and culture.
Michael Reading-Skilton, West Midlands Metro Commercial Manager, said: “Just this week we’ve seen the return of the iconic games mascot, Ozzy the mechanical bull, to the city centre, and now we’re gearing up to help Birmingham continue the anniversary celebrations. The opening of Edgbaston extension ahead of the opening ceremony provided a real boost to those who attended the games and, a year on, we stand ready to help visitors and residents from across the region soak up the festival atmosphere. The Metro team was proud to support the games last year, and we’re equally proud to play our part in celebrating its ongoing legacy of diversity and inclusion.”
