If you're stuck for things to do in our fabulous city, look no further. This is our weekly roundup of the very best events in Birmingham and beyond. First, we're looking ahead to that all important bank holiday. The Birmingham Weekender will be filling our streets with music, food and fun - and the best part? It's free! Don't forget to catch this one on the twenty sixth and twenty seventh.

Next - have you thought about taking a trip to Bear Grylls' Adventure at the NEC but have kids too small? Well the rules have just changed. Bosses at the top day out venue have lowered the age restriction to allow little ones five and up a go taking on the TV adventure-man's set of thrilling challenges. Perhaps one to add to your summer holiday arsenal.

And finally - for all you foodies out there, have you been taking advantage of the Birmingham Restaurant Festival? Running for the whole month, you've got a little bit of time left to experience great value menus and exciting dining experiences at restaurants across the city.
