WEBBS Garden Centre is searching for local heroes to be the first people to skate on its Christmas ice rink at the grand opening on November 2.

Residents in Bromsgrove can nominate inspirational members of the community by emailing heroes@webbs.co.uk. 25 heroes will then be chosen to receive a family ticket to the VIP launch event before the rink opens to the public on November 3.

Ed Webb, owner of Webbs of Wychbold, said: "We always like to do something special to launch our ice rink each year.

"We know it’s become an important part of people’s seasonal festivities with family and friends, and for many it marks the start of the Christmas countdown.

“As a local family business with team members and customers throughout the region.

"It it’s important for us to acknowledge the unsung heroes in the local community.

"So we’ve decided to launch the 2018 ice rink with a ‘Webbs Heroes’ event where people can nominate family, friends and neighbours who go above and beyond to help people, always adding that extra sparkle to others lives, to attend.”
