The yuletide season was kicked off in style with a Christmas market which had more than 30 stalls, live music, fairground rides, treasure hunt, a live nativity in George Street near the Town Hall by members of St Francis Church, walkabout characters, dance performances and personal appearances from Paw Patrol’s Chase and Marshall.

The Sport Relief Mile, which saw more than 200 people pull on their trainers and run or walk through the Castle Grounds, raised £4,433.67 for the charity Sport Relief.

Tamworth’s contribution went towards making up a record-breaking grand total of £72.5 million across the country. The money raised will help disadvantaged people in the UK and some of the poorest communities in the world.
