The Harry Jones Company, which is organising the event, claimed it could bring up to 40,000 visitors into the city over the festive period.

A full-sized ice rink will be the centrepiece at the site, off Salop Street, along with a funfair and European food and drink stalls, including a German-style sausage swing grill.

The event, which has been organised with the backing of Wolverhampton Council, will open on November 28, and run until January 5.
