DURSLEY'S countdown to Christmas has begun, with preparations for this year's Festive Dursley event well under way.

The winter wonderland themed festivities are set to take place in the town centre on Friday, November 30.

The event team are planning to decorate all the empty shop windows and are appealing for donations of old Christmas lights, Christmas trees and decorations.

Big decorations in particular are needed.

Donations can be dropped off at the town council offices up until November 15.

Alternatively, a member of the team will come and collect - get in touch via the Festive Dursley Facebook page.
