Tickets

Tickets for the event will be available from 10am tomorrow.

They are free but limited to four per person and will be released on a first-come, first-served basis at www.universe.com/wolvespromotionparty

Local band Project 21 will play a set featuring a guest slot from West End superstar Bev at the free event in West Park, it has been revealed.

Laurie Dalrymple, managing director of Wolves, said: “The support we have had from the city over the course of this season has been exceptional and we are really looking forward to the opportunity to show our gratitude on Bank Holiday Monday.

“The Sky Bet Championship trophy has been lifted once at Molineux, but the Promotion Party in the Park and open top bus parade will give the rest of the city the chance to see it and celebrate as one.”

Bank Holiday Monday will be a day of celebration in the city to honour Wolves’ title winners.

The party in the park will run from 10.30am to 3pm.

As well as a performance from Beverley Knight and Project 21, Wolves manager Nuno and his squad will show off the Sky Bet Championship Trophy which they lifted on Saturday.

Former Wolves goalkeeper Matt Murray will host the event, while there will be other guest appearances throughout the day.

A wide range of food and drink will be available, but people will not be permitted to bring their own alcohol into the park.

There will be an open top bus parade through the city centre as the Wolves squad and management make their way from a private civic reception to the park.

Supporters will be able to line the route as the buses leave the Art Gallery at midday, travel down Lichfield Street, through Queen Square, down Darlington Street, turning into Waterloo Road, across the Ring Road, turning into Newhampton Road East, Lansdowne Road and along Park Road East.

Parade or party?

Due to the large numbers of people expected in the city, chiefs said the number of fans entering the park will be controlled for safety reasons.

Only people with tickets will be able to go into the park and will need to arrive by 11.30am before the bus parade sets off.

There will be no admission to the park after 11.30am.

This means fans have the choice to either line the parade route or attend the party in the park.

Fans who choose to line the parade route will be able to watch the park event on a large screen in Queen Square.

Keith Ireland, managing director of Wolverhampton council, said: “We are delighted to be working with Wolves to help celebrate the club’s outstanding season. Bank Holiday Monday will be party time.

“There is a real feel-good vibe in the city right now and a sense that the city is on the up.

"Having a Premier League football team is a source of enormous pride for the whole city.”
