VOLUNTARY groups and charities are being invited to take up a free space at a forthcoming festive event.

Upton-upon-Severn hosts its annual Christmas Event on Saturday, December 19, featuring carol singing, Santa Claus, and live music.

There will also be late night opening by stores in the town and outdoor stalls selling a variety of goods.

Organisers say there is still plenty of free space for charities and good causes who want to set up a stall and sell a few items.

Peter Webb, chairman of Upton Tourism and Trade Association, said: “We still have space for more free charity stalls for charities to sell bits and pieces or make collections for their funds.”
