Revamp for town's market
Kidderminster's street market will trade for three days in a row for the first time in a bid to tempt thousands of extra shoppers into town in the run-up to Christmas.
The market, usually held on Thursdays and Saturdays, will change its days for seasonal shopping.
And extra stalls will also be set up alongside regular traders in order to boost visitor numbers further.
A programme of entertainment has also been organised to run alongside the market which will trade from December 22 to 24 - taking shoppers right up to Christmas Day.
Father Christmas will also be paying a visit on all days to meet youngsters and their families as part of the activities and the stalls will be lit up for the occasion.
A street cafe will also be set up in the town centre and The Kinver Sausage Company will be offering customers free mince pies with their purchases of hot cooked sausages and Christmas hot chocolate.
The markets will be the last for this year with no trading on Boxing Day or New Year's Eve.
But the market will reopen as usual on January 2.
It has been organised by LSD Promotions.
Kidderminster town centre manager Jackie Roberts said it was hoped the three-day market would bring in thousands more shoppers over Christmas week
"This is always a critical time for trade in the town centre and this will be a massive boost for the town centre."
