18 local heroes and their family and friends visited Webbs, Wychbold to officially open the garden centre’s Christmas Ice Rink.

The inspiring individuals, who were nominated by members of the community for their selfless actions throughout the year, were the very first to skate at this year’s rink, which is set to welcome thousands of families from now until when it closes on Monday 7th January.

Ed Webb, owner of Webbs Garden Centres, said: “It was a great night and was our pleasure to give a fantastic experience back to the people that are always giving so much to others out in the community areas around the store. We had local heroes of all ages in attendance, with some as young as 8!”

“Now we look forward to December, where the real ice rink will be spreading Christmas joy throughout the Midlands.”
