Revellers were keen to enjoy music, food, fairground rides and puppet shows at the annual event.

Children could also take part in raffles and tombolas while Santa came to pay a visit on a float.

The Whittlesey Rotary Club also offered plenty of fun with a human fruit machine.

The Christmas Tree Festival took place at St Mary's Church from Friday December 6 to Sunday.
