BBC West Midlands Community Games

The BBC West Midlands Community Games is supported by Birmingham City Council, Sport Birmingham and BBC WM as part of their ‘Get Moving’ campaign to showcase different sporting opportunity in the lead up to the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

The Festival will feature over 50 ‘have-a-go’ sports and activity tasters each afternoon, between 12noon and 5pm, and will be free to attend for members of the public and for activity providers; every Commonwealth sport will be represented, and many others too.

The event is being managed by Inspire Activity who will be running a promotional campaign along with BBC WM and the support of partners, aiming to achieve a weekend attendance of around 7,000. It is expected to build on the event each year leading up to the Games and beyond, therefore contributing effectively to the legacy commitments.
