from Brumblr, the scrapbook of Brum web ephemera The Kings Heath Charity Shop Crawl: Time: 09 October · 14:00 – 16:00 Location :Kings Heath High Street Created by: James Cook Come and take part in the most giving event of the Birmingham Comedy Festival.

Would of been able to tell you sooner but the Artsfest blog has no RSS feed and the Twitter is unresponsive (and piped from Facebook).
