The annual market will be held in the church hall of St Michael & All Angels Pelsall Parish Church, in Hall Lane, Pelsall, tomorrow from 10am to 2pm.

The event raises £3,000 to £4,000 for the church each year.

Reverend Alison Morris said: "Santa is arriving on horses at 10am.

"It's an annual event which is in partnership with the community, there's a real opportunity to get some bargains.

"There will be a selection of stalls, bric-a-brac, tombola, crafts, card stalls, cake stalls, and Santa will be there.

"There is a range of stalls for young and old and refreshments so people can sit down and have a bit to eat and drink.

"I've usually tremendously supported and it's a huge success with the community in Pelsall, it's a very good example of community partnership.

"Because it's on for four hours people come and go and can go and fill their cars up and come back again.

"We also have a grand draw and we usually have fabulous prizes, one is £100."
