The Bonded Warehouse is pleased to welcome back The Wild Earth Movement who are bringing one of the best Christmas markets around to Stourbridge. They believe they are still the only eco Christmas market in the area, and if you’ve visited before we think you will agree it’s definitely the best!

They have over 50 stalls lined up selling plastic free and sustainable goodies. You can do your Christmas shopping all under one roof whilst treading lightly on Earth.

Candles, bath bombs, reworked clothing, crystals, sea glass jewellery, soaps, kids gifts – there is so much to look at  plus refreshments of Mulled wine, chai lattes, tea, coffee, cake and food served all day.

Unlike many other markets- the parking is on site and free and we don’t charge you an entrance fee either.

The market starts at 11.00am and ends at 4.00pm.

Please pop by, have a mooch, grab a drink, enjoy the atmosphere and support the wonderful local talent.

Thankyou everyone !

The Wild Earth Movement team

The Stourbridge Navigation Trust Open Weekend will take place on 19th / 20th October 2024 from 10.00am until 5.00pm.

The Open Weekend as always will feature food and craft stalls, a rally of over 30 boats, classic vehicles exhibitors, a real ale bar, children’s rides, live music and other traders – we hope it will be a another great success and much enjoyed by the local community.

Please mark your diaries and tell your family and friends about this forthcoming event and we look forward to hosting you at the Open Weekend 2024.

The event is free to enter but please note that Canal Street will be closed to non-authorised vehicles for safety reasons whilst the event is ongoing so public parking will need to be found on nearby streets.

The Bonded Warehouse is proud to once again welcome the Stourbridge Military Vehicle Parade which assembles in Canal Street at 10.45am before proceeding to the top of the Stourbridge High Street [by The Chequers Wetherspoon Pub] for a prompt 11.00am start. The colourful parade finishes in Canal Street where approximately 30 vehicles will be on display  until 3.00pm for the public to take a close look at a range of military vehicles, including a tank, and to chat with the enthusiasts who maintain them.

The parade itself will be led by the Shirley Pipe Band and can be viewed proceeding along the Ring Road making its way to the starting point and then down the High Street, Market Street and Bath Road to Canal Street where the vehicles will assemble by the Bonded Warehouse.

They event held last year proved to be very popular and those looking to attend on Saturday 9^th November  are strongly encouraged, for safety reasons, not to park in Canal Street as this may obstruct the military vehicles, some of which are very large and tricky to manoeuvre . Access to Canal Street will be managed by authorised representatives of the event. Parking can be found in nearby streets such as Mill Race Lane and Old Wharf Road but please be considerate where you leave your car.

Refreshments will be available from a mobile outlet parked in Canal Street.

Wear your poppy with pride and come along to enjoy the parade. You will be made most welcome.

A new website has been launched to provide more information about the parade and this can be accessed from:
