Events and Promotions

The town has excellent business and community partnerships that join forces to provide entertainment for the town’s shoppers and visitors throughout the year.

 

The Stourbridge Navigation Trust holds its Open Weekend on the third full weekend of October every year at the Bonded Warehouse. Thousands of people flock to see over 100 boats, a classic car display, steam traction engines, and a craft fair on all three floors. The Bonded Warehouse hosts a Model Railway Weekend in the Spring and the Trust organises a Santa Boat Trip during December.

 

Christmas Lights Spectacular

The town has been building on its Christmas Lights display year on year, creating a magical environment and atmosphere over the festive period. The Christmas Lights switch on is always a crowd puller with local talent, celebrity guests and Christmas market.

 

Local, fresh farm produce is on offer at the town's farmer's market on the third Saturday of every month. From meat and game to bread, wine and even plants there is an excellent range of produce to choose from.

These popular open-air markets are situated in High Street and Coventry Street offering top quality local produce.

The market has recently been relaunched as a genuine farmer's market and is now operated by Sketts Quality Events, one of the country's leading market operators well known for operating one of the first farmer's markets in the UK, in June 1999. Please visit their website for information on their other farmer's markets.
