The Crosspool Christmas trees will be installed above our local shops on Sunday morning.
If you have an hour to spare from 9:30am on Sunday 11 December 2016, any help with putting the lights on the trees would be welcomed and very much appreciated.
Many thanks to all who made bunting for the festival. We have enough lengths for all the shops to have some to decorate their windows during the festival. Crosspool shopping centre should look very attractive!
