Retired carpet weavers are being urged to come forward to help a popular historic attraction in Kidderminster extend its opening hours.

They are needed to help demonstrate the handloom in Weaver's Loft, New Meeting Church, Church Street, so it can extend opening times to beyond 10am and 12.30pm on a Saturday.

Other volunteers without experience of the industry are also needed to show visitors around other areas of the carpet museum.

Anyone who can help can call Friends of the Carpet Museum chairman Bronwen Ingham on 01562 68908.
