From the Buttercross to Bethlehem: Open air nativity production at Market Drayton
They say never work with children or animals – but churches say it is worth the risk to bring the story of the nativity to life.

An open-air production is being planned for Market Drayton, involving a cast of about 30 and an assortment of animals.
Cheshire Street in Market Drayton will be transformed as part of the event, dubbed Buttercross to Bethlehem on December 18 at 4.30pm.
The event is organised by Churches Together.
The Rev Ruth Jeffries, from the town's Methodist church, said: "We want to tell the Christmas story in the town to give something for the community and to grab people's attention. We have got horses, a donkey and some cattle."
