Dancing grannies, face painters, bouncy castles, mascots and chalk artists will all be part of the events on Saturday 8 August and Saturday 15 August.

The celebrations have been organised by Telford & Wrekin Council’s Pride in Our High Street programme, sponsored by Morris Property and supported by Oakengates Town Council and follow a successful Oakengates event in May.

These events are being delivered to increase footfall to Oakengates, support local traders and encourage community use of the town centre.

On each day, entertainers will encourage visitors into shops and retailers will have the opportunity to promote their range of special offers to entice people in.
