The event marks the 20th anniversary of the UNESCO Global Geopark network, with the Black Country recognised as one of its prestigious members. The designation highlights the region’s geological significance in shaping the Industrial Revolution and its enduring impact on the world.

Set against the picturesque backdrop of Walsall Arboretum, which celebrated its 150th anniversary last year, the festival promises a lively mix of entertainment for all ages including all day live music as well as mouth-watering local cuisine.

The live music stage will showcase Black Country musicians. Headlined by the rough, tough and always rocking, King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys, the day will also feature RnB from Kiani, punk ukelele from Not Quite Dead Yet and will be hosted by well-known local DJ Dicky Dodd.

The day will also feature food stalls, bars, children’s rides and traders from across the Black Country.
