Dudley Street has been transformed for the Christmas Market and there was live music, food and plenty of stores to get the perfect present for someone special.

A spokesman for market organisers, LSD Promotions, said: "Wolverhampton Christmas Market is more than a shopping destination; it's a celebration of community, creativity, and the spirit of giving. It provides a platform for local and international artisans to showcase their talents, supporting small businesses and fostering a sense of unity.
