Councillor Mark Fryer, Executive Member for economic growth, said: “This is an event with a difference and there will be plenty going on, so make sure you get yourself down for some great performances. As well as creating an event for everyone to enjoy, we also want to help give a boost to the town’s night time economy, so it’s great to see so many local businesses on board. I hope to see people from far and wide come along for a good laugh.”
