The gathering has taken place since 1949 and this year starts at 6pm with Christmas carols and readings with the sound of Bournville Carillon for accompaniment. Tradition has it that you bring along a lantern. The event is organised by Churches Together B30 representing a range of churches around our area.

Thank you for making the Festival a fun, family event
June 30th, 2011Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Festival. It was a great atmosphere and lots of fun was had by everyone.
