BBC's The One Show is coming to Meriden


From Monday 20 September 2010, the One show is promoting its balloon week.  To give it a bit of 'oomph', they would like to film on the playing fields this coming Tuesday 21 September 2010 and release a hot air balloon with other balloons from 7pm.  It will be filmed live and the BBC crew ask all residents who are interested in attending to show up at Maxstone Lane from 6.15pm.

The weather could affect the hot air balloon's launch, so they may have to move filming to the village green to release small balloons.

Whatever transpires on the night, it'll be fun, so come along. You can watch it on BBC iPlayer when you get home!
