The evening will be hosted by radio presenter Eric Smith, who is currently appearing in pantomime Peter Pan at Theatre Severn.

Helen Ball, Town Clerk said: “We are delighted to be bringing the popular Carols in the Square concert back for another year. This has always been a special event in Shrewsbury’s calendar, it’s a great opportunity for getting together for an informal sing-a-long and there will be song sheets for everyone so there’s no excuse not to join in.”
