BBC Midlands visiting Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre for Out and About feature

During the Easter holiday fortnight the BBC Midlands Out and About Bus, along with well-known TV and Radio presenters from the region will be seeking out those stories from members of the public.

Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre in Craven Arms was the chosen Shropshire venue on March 31, from 9am viewers and listeners were invited to record their "surprising stories" on camera and highlight any local issues they feel are not being given air time. There was also an opportunity to "turn tables", by interviewing Nick Owen 11am-1pm, have a go at presenting the weather, or reading the news.

Catherine Collier, general manager at Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre said 'As a registered charity managing Shropshire Hills Discovery Centre we are thrilled to have been chosen as the only Shropshire venue for the BBC Midlands outreach initiative on March 31. Our vision is to connect people to the landscape, history and food of the Shropshire Hills, the Discovery Centre houses a replica mammoth skeleton found in Shropshire 30 years ago in our exhibition but also has a popular café and gift shop, not forgetting our 30 acres of meadows to explore. The Discovery Centre is a popular visitor attraction but it's also very much part of the local community. As Grow Cook Learn, we deliver community projects working with other charities and not for profit organisations who share our vision, we invited them to join in the discussion, including the Wheels for All team helping us provide cycling opportunities for all abilities on our inclusive cycle path'.
