How can I find out what's going on in the district?
We distribute leaflets, flyers and posters for all events across
the District. The information is usually on display at the Wyre
Forest District Council receptions, libraries and Town Hall.
During the summer we put on a number of activities for children.
Every school has a delivery of brochures before the end of term to
let children and parents know of activities taking place.
