A donkey, sheep and cow were added to the Nativity scene in the church yard, with the animals provided by Curo- Lincs farm.
A spokesman said: “We would like to thank everyone who gave up their free time and contributed to such a successful event and great to see Christmas Mickey and friend the Elf, as well as the live animals – the children and parents loved it.
