A CHRISTMAS cracker is in store with fun for all the family at the Beacon Church Centre in Rubery.

The event, on Whetty Lane, includes children’s activities such as a soft play area and a visit from Father Christmas, while there will also be stalls for gifts, cakes and sweets.

Associate minister Terry Thompson said: “The annual Beacon Christmas Cracker will be fun for all the family.

“Children can be crafty in a variety of activities and competitions while the more active can use the equipment kindly provided by Soft Play.

“And, of course, Christmas would not be Christmas without the opportunity to meet Father Christmas himself.”

The event takes place on Saturday, November 25, from 10am until 1pm.

Admission is free and there will be an opportunity for those who wish to donate to the church.
