COCOMAD returns to Cotteridge Park on 6th July and they’re looking for volunteers! Click the link to sign up

There is no other festival quite like it, run by volunteers, supported by the community. You don’t need a ticket but CoCoMAD isn’t free, it’s paid for by donations from you, your neighbours and the businesses that you use.
