STREET theatre in Bromsgrove celebrates its tenth anniversary this year and townsfolk are being asked to help shape the fun at future events.

Leisure chiefs at Bromsgrove District Council want to hear from people who have enjoyed the annual festival in the past to ensure that 2005 is the best year yet.

Arts development officer Huw Moseley said: "Please let us know what you would like us to do to make this year's extravaganza an extra special one."

Bromsgrove Street Theatre has grown over the years and its reputation has spread far beyond the town's boundaries.

It now attracts thousands of people of all ages from near and far every summer.

The free-for-all-the-family event is held on each Wednesday throughout August. It features top class acts, fun and games on the town centre's Recreation Ground and is always a big hit in the summer holidays.

"Street theatre has grown from strength to strength and each year attracts more people than ever before with last year breaking all records," said Huw.

"With your help, we want this year to be bigger and better than ever."

Leisure chiefs want to know what are your best memories of past years and to hear your ideas for this year.

Send them to Julie Hayes, Marketing Officer, Bromsgrove District Council, The Council House, Burcot Lane, Bromsgrove, B60 1AA.

Alternatively, call Julie on 01527 881366 or email her at: jheyes@bromsgrove.gov.uk

The closing date for ideas is Friday, February 18.
