BROMSGROVE'S BirdBox is set to welcome back visitors for a relaxing weekend of wellbeing, health and beauty.

Showcasing local businesses such as Daily Bread Yoga, Kindred Bromsgrove, Wellbeing Tree, Gingers, Brows with Benefits and Berry Boutique, visitors are set to experience a weekend full of pampering with an added element of retail therapy.

The event will take place over two days on Friday, August 6 and Saturday, August 7, running from 12pm until 9pm.

There will also be additional yoga sessions with Daily Bread Yoga taking place from 8.30am on Saturday.

Bromsgrove District Council leader Karen May said: “This is exactly what BirdBox was created for, to showcase the fantastic businesses we have in our district at the same time as drawing in visitors for a fun afternoon or evening out.

“I think it is a really unique idea to have a wellbeing event and it is well needed by businesses and visitors alike after the past 18 months.”

Bromsgrove District Council, Bromsgrove Indie Club and North Worcestershire Economic Development and Regeneration have worked together to organise the event.

Bromsgrove Indie Club’s spokesperson Anthony Hall said: “It’s been a long year for all of our independents and much of the wellbeing and personal care industry was badly hit by the lockdowns.

"I’m pleased we’re doing something a bit different and showing off these incredible businesses.

“I hope our residents come along and support them at the weekend and enjoy the BirdBox once again!”

Kindred Bromsgrove and Daily Bread Yoga will be offering taster sessions; Gingers will be selling hair accessories and doing festival style up-dos with glitter and offering free colour constructions; Brows with Benefits will be providing free consultations; and The Wellbeing Tree will be providing natural henna body art.

Alongside the wellbeing businesses there will a whole host of local vendors, offering cocktails, Prosecco, burgers, pizzas and waffles.

Music and entertainment will be provided by BRMG radio on Friday and DJ Kapt Kirk on Saturday.
