It's very sad that someone is making a decision without letting people know first hand.

Who ever it is they should give answers. You can't sell off something that is not yours without consultations. It's classed as fraud and deception and they hoped Friends of Netherton Park would look the other way.

Help Save Netherton Park - Petition

Please support the Friends of Netherton Park and stop the disposal (sale) of a park land.

We have created this e-Petition as a quick and simple way to voice your objection.

Heat 5 is heading to Tipton and we cannot wait to see what local talent comes through the doors at Gospel Oak Sports Centre.

After four fantastic heats so far, Black Country You’ve Got Talent 2026 now moves to:

Friday 29th May 2026
Gospel Oak Sports Centre
Bilston Road, Tipton, DY4 0BZ

Doors Open: 7.00pm
Show Starts: 7.30pm
Entry Fee: £2.00

We are also delighted to welcome our Heat 5 judges Justyna Kordala and Rosslynne Lewis.

Justyna is passionate about supporting local people, creativity, and community projects across the Black Country and always brings encouragement and positivity to performers taking to the stage.

Rosslynne Lewis returns again this year after being part of Black Country You’ve Got Talent previously and certainly knows talent when she sees it. Rosslynne has always been supportive of giving local people opportunities and helping build confidence within the community.

This heat is proudly sponsored by Clarity Homecare West Bromwich, whose support is helping us continue creating opportunities for local talent and bringing communities together through music and entertainment.

We also want to thank Black Country Radio and pirate.com for their continued support of Black Country Food Bank

The standard so far has honestly been unbelievable, with every heat bringing amazing singers, performers, entertainers, and personalities to the stage. The judges have repeatedly said how difficult it has been choosing winners because of the talent coming through the competition.

One winner from Heat 5 will secure their place in the Grand Final on Friday 10th July 2026 at Spring Meadow Sports And Social Club Entertainment Page .

Also remember that monies raised from the competition are going towards Black Country Foodbank paying it forward to give back to those who need support within our communities.

Tipton… it is your turn now. Let’s see who steps up to the microphone next.

Heat 4 at The Hasbury Club certainly brought the talent last Friday night.

We had 9 auditionees take to the stage for Black Country You’ve Got Talent 2026 and every single one of them made an impact with the judges. The standard was fantastic throughout the evening, with some brilliant performances, confidence, personality and entertainment on show.

One contestant in particular gave everyone chills and rightly so. Heat 4 winner Charisma certainly lived up to her name and brought the full package to the stage.

Judges Alex Ballinger MP Bargains With Josh and Phil McCahill - Halesowen McCahill all agreed that she deserved her place in the Grand Final.

Congratulations Charisma. We will see you in the Final on Friday 10th July at Spring Meadow Sports And Social Club Entertainment Page Old Hill.

A massive well done to all of the auditionees who took part. You were awesome and should all be proud of yourselves for getting up on stage and performing.

Thank You to our sponsor Clarity HomeCare West Bromwich.

Next stop… Heat 5.

Friday 5th June 2026
