Contributions from crocheters, model makers, ceramicists, robotics engineers, origami specialists, augmented car enthusiasts will also be included in the display.

"Across Wolverhampton residents and community groups always come together and I know this will be no exception," said City of Wolverhampton Council cabinet member for visitor city, Bhupinder Gakhal.
