Starting Friday April 5, the Birmingham Mail is to give away 50,000 free copies on Friday's in busy areas of the City Centre.

The bumper Friday edition will include sections such as city life, where to eat and shop, what to wear and what to do. Included in Friday's Birmingham Mail will be a newly-designed pull out called Friday Live, featuring comprehensive listings, event news, film, music and theatre reviews, city centre attractions and contributions from readers. Also included is a revamped property supplement including a special section on city lettings, plus a comprehensive sports section with weekend previews, comments and fans' views.

Over the next few Friday's, the Birmingham Mail will be featuring fantastic competitions and offers such as a 2for 1 voucher for Chilacas, the chance to win an iPad Mini and a Holiday Home worth £40,000 up for grabs.

Every Friday, expect pigeons, rain and the Birmingham Mail in the City Centre.
