Finally, Christmas weather for Christmas! Anglesey basin, 5:45pm Friday, 8th December 2017.

Right, I’m going to be busy this weekend – come on, the weather is too good to stay indoors! In the meantime, here’s a bunch of Christmas events assembled by readers on Facebook for this weekend- if you have any to add please do get in touch.

I obviously give no guarantees of their quality or whether they’ll actually go ahead, so contact organisers if concerned beforehand.

First up: Courtesy of Councillor John Preece, there’s a Carol Concert at Norton Canes Community Centre at 6pm Sunday, 10th December 2017, which is always a good one.

If you want me to plug anything, comment here or mail me: BrownhillsBob at Googlemail dot com. Cheers!

They ordered the snow specially…

Running all weekend 9-10th December 2017:

Lichfield’s 2nd Christmas Food Festival bought to you by Cockerhoop Creative & the same team as the August festival!

This event is still fabulously FREE!

Over the two days, expect over 160 amazing high end food, gift & drink stalls to tickle those tastebuds, all around the Lichfield city centre. There will be street entertainment & on Sunday watch out there’s a Santa Dash….hundreds of Santa’s running for charity through the city. Great fun!

Don’t forget the Lichfield BID Nutcracker trail. There will be huge 8 foot colourful Nutcracker Soldiers dotted around the city! Pick up a trail map from the visitors centre in the Library.

This year 3 Spires Shopping Centre will also have an ice rink! Yes an Ice Rink!
Looking forward to seeing all your selfies!
