An annual joint event between the Town Hall, Forward Carers and Midland Mencap, to provide a family space for loved ones and their carers to soak up some festive cheer and enjoy music, chat and a whole raft of Christmas activities. Performances come from Halas Homes Sings and Signs Choir and the Midland Brass Ensemble, there are prizes for best (and worst) Christmas jumper or hat and of course the opportunity to support the work of some great charities. Read more about the work of Forward Carers here and Midland Mencap here. Free tickets can be booked in advance.
