Volunteers and community groups came together in Northallerton yesterday to take part in this year’s Christmas event.

It took place over the High Street from 11am to 6pm on Sunday, December 11.

Attractions at the event included a Santa’s Grotto, indoor and outdoor craft stalls, food, fairground rides and donkey rides.

There was also a Farmers' Market in the neighbouring Applegarth park.

Local music schools, music groups and bands gave performances throughout the day with Viking Productions.

Pictures from the event show a number of families taking part as many people dressed up in elf costumes joined by a very jolly father Christmas.
