This is an online event.

Come along to a bostin’ tea party in this virtual café and share your favourite Black Country words and phrases, especially those related to food. Listen to some Black Country poetry from the University of Wolverhampton’s Dr Rob Francis, and share your memories and thoughts about the distinctive Black Country dialect.

Once you sign up, you’ll be provided with a resource pack to get you thinking, along with some Black Country recipes so you can make your own ‘fittle’ (food) before the event, and share it online. Put the kettle on! It’ll be smashing – or bostin’!

This event is suitable for anyone who likes language and food.
