During the West Midlands ballot, support from our partners and stakeholders really did make a difference and the response from local people was incredible, with thousands and thousands of people applying for tickets and many of our sessions in high demand.

We have a significant marketing and communications campaign planned for the next few weeks and this includes some media activity which we have organised to kick off the campaign on Wednesday.
