The "biggest" Christmas event in the West Midlands has partnered with a bereavement charity.

Winter Glow, held at the Three Counties Showground in Malvern, has linked up with Winston’s Wish, a charity supporting young people and families dealing with grief.

The partnership will see the charity take over the event's illuminated light trail for the first-ever Winston’s Winter Glow Wander event on Sunday, December 1.

The event will allow the charity's service users and supporters exclusive access to the Christmas light trail.

The trail has been created by artists, lighting designers, and craftspeople from the area.

Visitors will join Jingle, Winter Glow’s head elf, on an adventure to find the Light Guardians and restore joy to the Winter Village folk.

Jenna Marks, director of the event, said: "We are thrilled to partner with Winston’s Wish and contribute to their invaluable work.

"We’re on a mission to spread Christmas spirit across the three counties, so it’s a privilege to be able to provide a slice of magical escape to young people who are facing huge challenges in their day-to-day lives."

The event aims to bring some joy to those who may find the festive period hard after losing a loved one.

Tickets will be sold at a discounted rate, with all proceeds going directly to the charity.

The charity offers a range of support for bereaved children and young people, including online content, the Grief in Common podcast series, and an on-demand live chat and freephone service.

It also provides assistance to professionals in education, healthcare, and community settings to help support bereaved children.

Nicole Gerrard, the charity's campaigns and events manager, said: "We are delighted to be partnering with Glow and are excited to be seeing our service users and supporters presented with the opportunity to enjoy what we know will be a magical experience during a time of year that can be very challenging.

"This event with Winter Glow will not only bring joy and comfort to bereaved children and young people but also help to raise awareness of our vital work and the support we offer."
