The Wolverhampton & Black Country Show

This popular annual event - which has been relaunched as the Wolverhampton and Black Country Show - will this year feature a BBC First World War centenary event alongside it.

The show's new name coincides with Black Country Day and bosses are delighted to have joined forces with the BBC for the West Park event.

TV stars including Eastenders' Larry Lamb will attend the event as part of the World War One at Home tour,

The BBC aspect will include a 'briefing room' for interviews, as well as an outdoor parade ground and several First World War-based activities.

People can also learn about how medicine and communications were transformed during the war, including demonstrations of how carrier pigeons were an invaluable resource for sending messages.

The family-friendly events will include hands-on activities, performances and interactive sessions designed to appeal to everyone from eight to 80.

The Signal 107 Sound Stage will be in a separate field with a big screen, while the usual favourites like monster trucks will also return.
