Children’s TV favourite Bob the Builder is set to visit Brierley Hill to switch on the town’s Christmas lights on Friday 26 November.
The Dudley Council event, which runs at the Moor Shopping Centre from 4 to 6pm, is set to include free face painting, children’s rides and music, dance and entertainment, Santa’s grotto and real life reindeers.
Bob the Builder will make appearances at various intervals during the event and will switch on the festive lights at 6pm.
There will also be activities taking place in the Concorde Market.
Councillor Les Jones, cabinet member for regeneration, said:
“Brierley Hill town centre’s Christmas lights is going to be the best one yet and with Bob the Builder making an appearance I’m sure lots of families will head into town to do some Christmas shopping and enjoy the festivities.

Neighbours News is a non-profit voluntary organisation, formally constitued as a group since September 1999 on the Castle & Priory Ward in Dudley. We produce community newsletters for residents. As of 2004, we have expanded to other areas (most of which are in high deprivation).
We want to get a community newsletter for Brierley Hill circulating, because there is interest, however we need to find any potential funders and anyone who might be interested in sponsoring an edition. High Arcal School in Sedgley has sponsored an edition of the Oval & Tudor News in Upper Gornal, for example.
We remove the official language and put it in plain English for people to understand, keeping them informed about local issues, training and job opportunities, developments, town centre events, etc.
Our local distribution is carried out by community groups and the print group we use trains people with learning difficulties.
We are based on the Pensnett Trading Estate, having relocated offices, due to the demolition work being done on North Priory, where our former premises were in Pine Road.
