“We have listened closely to public feedback and have worked hard to create an even more exciting range of events for everyone to enjoy this year.
“These events will help drive more footfall, enhance the overall vibrancy and experience for locals and visitors, and help increase spend in the town centre – which supports all our great retail and leisure businesses.
