Workshops in Burntwood will help people get ready for the town’s annual lantern parade.
The lantern-making sessions will take place at the Chasewater Innovation Centre on:
- December 5 and 12 – 5pm to 7pm, 7pm to 9pm
- December 6 and 7 – 10am to noon, 1pm to 3pm
- December 13 – 10am to noon.
Sharon Whitchurch, chair of Forward Action Burntwood who are organising the lantern parade, said: “We are looking forward immensely to hosting our parade this year.
“As always, it promises to be a truly magical way to begin your Christmas preparations, regardless of your age. Many people in Burntwood have said that it has become their new tradition and marks the start of Christmas in their house.”
An annual Christmas fayre will also take place on December 14 from 10am to 4pm, featuring stalls, the chance to meet Santa and take a steam train ride.
People looking to get into the festive spirit are being invited to the Chasewater Country Park and Innovation Centre annual Christmas Fayre on Sunday 14 December from 10am till 4pm.
At the Fayre visitors can browse a range of jewellery, and crafts from local sellers and children can meet Santa on the day and take a ride on the steam train.
County councillor Mark Winnington said: “Chasewater is a great attraction that comes alive at Christmas and I would encourage people to get themselves along and get into the Christmas spirit.”
