The first of 3 themed events in our High Streets took place on 24th July 2021

On Saturday 24th July, Wombourne Parish Council held the first of 3 planned village entertainment days to encourage the people of Wombourne and visitors to support our independent shops and businesses.

In the weeks leading up to the event, a sub Committee formed-High Street Recovery and Rejuvenation. Members, made up of Parish Councillors and independent traders visited many of the village retailers and businesses to ascertain whether they wanted to take part. Many were happy to display posters and share ideas on the WhatsApp village retailers group.

The theme for the day was music. At various sites in the village centre and in Common Road, musical performers entertained shoppers and passers by.

The Bluebird Belles and Inspiration Drive proved very popular as did Every Little Dream who performed as Anna and Elsa from Disney’s Frozen.

Many of our enthusiastic traders added fun by dressing up a musical characters. They also generously provided canopies and electricity for the performers.

Fortunately the weather was fine and dry and it didn’t pour with rain as was forecast so contingency plans for bad weather were not required.

On the day we were very pleased that Gavin Williamson MP was able to come along and support us and that Parish Councillors were in attendance too to provide information and maps at HQ.
