Love Loughborough will be offering a free gift-wrapping service to those who do their Christmas shopping in Loughborough on Thursday December 19 and Sunday December 22.

The team will be based in Carillon Court Shopping Centre between 10.30am-3pm and all shoppers need to do is bring along their gifts.

The annual Carols at the Carillon event will return on Christmas Eve. People are invited to take a well-earned break from shopping to enjoy a festive sing-along at the band stand in Queen’s Park at 1pm.

There will also be festive themed activities for the littles ones at Charnwood Museum on Christmas Eve. The museum will be open between 10am-2pm.
