Summer might be heading towards its final few weeks, but there’s still plenty happening across Solihull, Knowle and the surrounding villages this August.

From outdoor theatre in some of Solihull’s most beautiful settings to live music, family adventures, sunflower fields and local community groups, there are plenty of reasons to get out and enjoy where we live.

As a family-run estate agent based in Knowle, we spend a lot of time talking about what makes Solihull such a fantastic place to call home. And it isn’t just the houses — it’s the villages, parks, independent businesses, events and communities that surround them.

So, here are a few things happening locally during the rest of August 2026.

🎶 Summer Jam on Knowle High Street

Saturday 29 August 2026
📍 Slow Century Records / Café Viola, 1588 High Street, Knowle, Solihull, B93 0LF

Knowle High Street is getting into the summer spirit with Slow Century Records and Friends’ Summer Jam.

Expect a day of music, food and drinks, with DJs, a raffle and plenty more happening throughout the day.

Café Viola will be serving its usual breakfast before firing up the BBQ for lunch.

If you’re local to Knowle, Dorridge or Bentley Heath, this sounds like a great excuse for a wander into the village over the Bank Holiday weekend.

🐰 Tales of Beatrix Potter at Brueton Park

There aren’t many better settings for a summer performance than Brueton Park.

Definitely one for the summer photo album.

🔥 Family Adventure by Night at Umberslade Adventure

📍 Chalcot Wood, Cut Throat Lane, Hockley Heath

If the children aren’t quite ready for summer to finish, Umberslade Adventure has something a little different planned.

Expect a DJ and vocalist, fire breather, fire pits, face painting and food vendors.

A fun summer evening close to Hockley Heath and Solihull.

❤️ There’s Plenty to Love About Living in Solihull

One of the things we love about working in property here is just how different each part of the area feels.

From village life in Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath, Hockley Heath and Lapworth, to the parks, shopping, restaurants and transport connections of Solihull, there’s a huge amount on our doorstep.

We hope this gives you a few ideas for enjoying the final weeks of summer.

And if we’ve missed a brilliant local event, tell us! We’d love to include more local businesses, groups and events in future guides.
