Wolves captain set for Wolverhampton Christmas lights switch-on
Wolves captain Danny Batth will be among the famous faces at the city centre Christmas lights switch-on next week, it has been announced.
The defender will be joined by goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, internet sensation Doreen Tipton, CBeebies favourite Boj and the Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Barry Findlay.
The event in Queen Square starts at 5pm, on Wednesday, November 23, with the switch-on taking place at 6.30pm. It is one of six lights events across the city and will feature seasonal market stalls, Christmas music, a mini funfair and fireworks finale.
Councillor John Reynolds, Wolverhampton council's cabinet member for City Economy, said: "These great free evenings out for all the family are a brilliant way to countdown to Christmas. We are looking forward to seeing bumper crowds at each event this year."
Four of the other events are also being held next week including those in Wednesfield, Bilston, Tettenhall and Bantock Park.
The final switch on is at Northycote Farm on December 3, when St Peter's Collegiate Church Choir will sing carols from 3pm.
Entry to all events is free. Visit the council's website for more information.
