Hundreds of youngsters have created artwork to celebrate the 12 days of Christmas as part of a range of festive celebrations at the hall.

Every school which has submitted artwork will have their images displayed in the windows, with the images transferred onto window vinyls. The technique allows the lights from the hall to illuminate the pictures from inside, making them visible inside the hall and those taking a walking in the grounds.

Alan Lunt, deputy chief executive for Dudley Council, said: "It is wonderful that so many schools have participated in the 12 days of Christmas project.

"The project is one of many reasons to visit the Himley Hall and Park in the run up to Christmas, and I hope our visitors enjoy viewing the artwork on display and take the opportunity to escape the cold in our cosy coffee lounge."

The windows will be revealed at the hall's Winter Lights event from Friday(13) until Sunday(15). Tickets for the event are available by visiting www.countrywide-events.co.uk/event-dates.

The artwork will be on display at Himley Hall until early January.
