IT will begin to look a lot like Christmas in Gornal Wood this weekend.

The Victorian Christmas in the Village event will run from 5pm to 8.30pm on Saturday (December 3).

Children will be able to meet Father Christmas in his grotto and there will be a variety of craft stalls for people to browse and mulled wine on sale.

A raffle will also take place, there will be letter writing and crafts in the library, fair rides and plenty of village shops open until late.

The event has been organised by the Ellowes Hall and Area TRA and the Gornal Together Community Group and the lights will be switched on by the Mayor of Dudley, Councillor Mohammed Hanif, at 6pm.
