The three Wise Men, Mary, Joseph and their donkey are set to follow the star from Bethlehem to Bromley for a live nativity scene in the town centre.
The interactive live event will take place on Thursday 15 December in Market Square next to the Christmas tree. Professional actors and a live donkey will give performances throughout the evening from 6pm - 9pm. Busker Si Cranstoun will also be providing live music and entertainment for shoppers and visitors.
"The nativity scene will bring the story of Christmas to Bromley for the whole family to enjoy. Like the three Wise Men this Christmas, come along to Bromley show the children how Christmas began and whilst you are there, do some Christmas shopping. We're also offering free parking in the heart of the town centre on festive Thursdays" said Councillor Peter Morgan, Executive Councillor for Renewal and Recreation.
Free parking will be on offer in the Civic Centre and Hill car parks in Bromley town centre every Thursday until 22 Dec from 3pm - 9pm. There will also be additional parking for shoppers available over the Christmas period. The Civic Centre car park in Bromley town centre will be offering more spaces from Monday 12 December until Monday 2 January. The Christmas lights, festive celebrations and free parking initiative are supported by the Mayor of London's Outer London Fund that aims to strengthen the vibrancy and growth of high streets and their environs.
Bromley residents and shoppers will also be treated to the annual Christmas Markets in the High Street from Friday 9 December. The market is open everyday from 9am until 5pm until Saturday 24 December.
