STOURBRIDGE is set to sparkle when the town holds its annual Christmas festival to get families into the seasonal spirit.

The festive fun will take place in the town centre tomorrow (Saturday November 29) from 12 noon until 5pm.

Attractions at the event, organised by Dudley Council, Stourbridge Chamber of Trade and the Ryemarket Shopping Centre, include a Christmas craft market, vintage steam engines, food festival and free funfair rides.

Crowds will be able to enjoy live entertainment in Crown Square and Fountain Square and snow princesses and Father Christmas will drop by to greet youngsters.

Councillor Hilary Bills, cabinet member for environment and culture, said: “There’s lots on offer for families, foodies and shoppers as part of the countdown to Christmas.

"I hope lots of people will turn out and support the town’s traders.”
