Crowds filled the streets of March on Sunday (December 5) as the town's Christmas market made its long-awaited return.

After the ninth annual market was officially opened by the mayor, there was live entertainment, more than 100 stalls for people to browse, fair rides for children and family activities in the town hall.

Organised by Fenland District Council and Councillor Jan French, Santa himself even made an appearance on the day, too.

Despite wet and windy weather, local musician Bondy and Fenland band All The Small Things performed for an excited audience.
