Just a quick reminder that the annual switching on of Wednesfield‘s Christmas lights takes place next Friday, 3rd December from 3:30pm onwards.

The event is set to be bigger and better than ever before and includes loads for kids to do.

Dickie Dodd’s Wolf FM Roadshow will be broadcasting from outside Age UK (Help The Aged) in the High Street to celebrate the shop’s 15th year in Wednesfield.

Fayre ground rides will be available for children to enjoy.

4pm – 5pm: Children from local school choirs will sing Christmas carols inside St Thomas’ Church – the audio (and possibly video) will be broadcast outside the Church.
