What to expect on Telford Day: 'A day to come together to celebrate Telford' as new town celebrates its anniversary
A day of entertainment for Telford to celebrate the town's founding will kick off a packed programme of festive events.
Telford & Wrekin Council promises Telford Day will be "a day to come together to celebrate Telford" next Saturday, November 29.
The new town of Telford was formed on that date in 1968 and the council says there are lots of ways residents can get involved in the first Telford Day celebrations.
The Made In Telford Christmas Makers Market will launch Telford Day activities and will be open from 10am in Southwater featuring local artisan crafts. Alongside the market, the Christmas Yurt will have activities on throughout the day including a film screening of Cinderella with children’s activities from 10.30am.
At 1.30pm in Southwater Square the new Telford and Wrekin flag will be raised by its designer Amelia, who last month won the competition to design a flag for the borough.
