There will be a chance to try a taster session in yoga at 12.30pn on Saturday, October 26, and a public ceremony with lamp lighting at 2pm, which will be attended by Redditch mayor Wanda King, the police commissioner of West Mercia, Karen Lumley MP, and former Redditch mayor Madge Tillesley.
The exhibition has already been staged at several venues in the United States, as well as in more than 35 towns and cities around the UK.
