A FESTIVE CELEBRATION FOR EVERYONE!

The Canal & River Trust is happy to announce the return of its popular Christmas event at Delph Stables in Brierley Hill funded by West Midlands Combined Authority’s Commonwealth Games Legacy Fund.

Along the picturesque Dudley Canal, near the top of the historic “nine locks,” this free community event offers festive fun for all ages in the heart of the Black Country.

A Canal & River Trust team, both employees and volunteers, have created new giant-sized themed decorations each year to make the event memorable.

 

Delph Stables, the last surviving canalside stable block in the Black Country, provides a charming backdrop for this seasonal celebration. Visitors can enjoy:

· Creative Activities: Get hands-on with ambitious Christmas decoration crafting.

· Meet Father Christmas: A magical opportunity for children to meet Santa himself.

· Carol Singing and More: Join in the holiday spirit with Brierley Hill Musical Theatre Company performing Christmas songs beside the canal from 5pm and Albion Street Church singing Christmas Carols.

· Complimentary Refreshments: Warm up with a free cup of tea or coffee while soaking in the festive atmosphere.
