Birmingham will be a wonderful place to be for children on Friday, November 10. Father Christmas will parade around the city centre with his reindeer and elves and then turn the Christmas lights on.
The Christmas Parade should make a great trip out. It features a fantastic line up of events such as the chance to see live camels carrying the Three Wise Men, and an aerialist performing a breathtaking sequence from inside a huge candle.
We were delighted to see that three Birmingham restaurants made it into the top half of the prestigious Sunday Times Top 100 published on 28 October.
Purnell's came in at number 17, Simpson's at number 34 and Lasan at number 49.
Congratulations to all involved!
