Father Christmas himself was even in attendance, taking visits in the town's magical garden.

Locals and visitors were treated with wood-fired pizzas, locally roasted coffee and other artisan food and drink from a variety of vendors.

There was also a competition for the best Victorian outfit on display.

On what was a cold night, the crowds were kept thoroughly entertained with the amount of activities on show, as well as the attractions which included traditional fairground rides like the carousel.
