Organisers of the TimBuKuTu free event this weekend were left frustrated and out of pocket to the tune of nearly £400 after promotional material for the event, at the Old School, Dudley Road, was taken down three times in the last few weeks.

The incidents were reported to the police but no leads have come from them and now the committee have taken to nailing the posters to a hoarding to make them more secure.

The show has been running since 2018 and revives ancient trading activities and methods.
