If you fancy reminiscing about the Walsall Illuminations, which last took place in the Arboretum in 2008, Heritage Open Days are running a special event this weekend.

Head to the bandstand at Walsall Arboretum on Saturday or Sunday this weekend – September 11-12- where a small exhibition is being hosted to commemorate that town’s famous light show.
The illuminations ran for over 50 years and at its peak was attracting a quarter of a million visitors every autumn.
The exhibition will feature photos and videos taken between the period of 1950-2008, with most of the contributions from visitors who attended the light show over the years.
This is a free event that runs from 10am-4pm on each day.
