Much Wenlock will have a synthetic ice rink as part of its annual Christmas Fair.

Liz Challinor, one of the organisers, said the synthetic rink will need special skates, which will be included in the £4 cost for half an hour. Shorter sessions may be available for young children.

A park and ride will from Williams Brookes School and the Plume of Feathers near Harley.

The fair will run from 10am to 5pm, admission is free.
