About

Multistory is delighted to invite you all to Green Roots on the Meadow, a free, family-friendly celebration event on Saturday 16 August 2025, 12pm–2pm, behind Primark in New Square, West Bromwich (accessed on the corner of Walsall Street, opposite Tiny Tots Academy).

Part of Sandwell Council’s Towns Fund Urban Greening programme, Green Roots on the Meadow is being delivered by Multistory, in partnership with Sandwell Council, New Square West Bromwich and Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust. The event will bring together young people, residents, artists and partners to celebrate and steward one of Sandwell’s green spaces plus there’ll be complimentary snacks!

Returning for a second summer gathering, the celebration will highlight the ongoing care of the meadow that was planted in September 2023. Enjoy free, drop-in art and nature-themed workshops, a pop-up performance by Birmingham Opera Company, music by Bostin’ Brass, seed-sowing with Birmingham & Black Country Wildlife Trust, and the unveiling of a new commission by Juneau Projects on the Meadow.

Developed in collaboration with young people and community members at the YMCA in West Bromwich, Juneau Projects will create an outdoor exhibition of wildlife-inspired ceramics installed as a trail across the Meadow, inviting people to explore and to celebrate local creativity and biodiversity.
Part of the wider Sandwell Council's wider Towns Fund Urban Greening project in the town, which is supported by Government funding, the event brings together art, nature and community to celebrate one of Sandwell's green spaces.

We’re looking forward to sharing this year’s Green Roots on the Meadow to mark the end of Sandwell Council’s Urban Greening project that is a testament to the strength of creativity and community action in shaping a more sustainable, natural and connected urban environment.

We look forward to seeing you there!
