A day of festivities brought the Christmas spirit to a town.

The festive season kicked off in Market Deeping on Sunday (December 1) with a Christmas market and lights switch on.

There were more than 50 stalls as well as an entertainment stage with a variety of local performers and an exhibition by Market Deeping Model Railway Club.

A highlight of the event was the barrel train which was driven around by Santa and filled with passengers on every journey.

Mayor of Market Deeping Pam Byrd said: “It was a really jolly event.

“We had music at both ends of the Market Place and lots of different things happening.”
