MULLED wine, mince pies and roast chestnuts are all on the menu at a brewery fair in the Dales.
Christmas has begun in Masham, where the Black Sheep Brewery is holding one of the most popular events in its calendar.
The Victorian Christmas Fair has more than 40 stalls, Santa's grotto for children and a huge marquee housing craft stalls, with products ranging from locally-made food to jewellery, pottery and Christmas decorations.
To add to the spirit, there is mulled wine and ales, festive music and children's entertainment.
"There is a really special festive atmosphere at our Victorian Christmas Fair, which I always look forward to," said Helen Broadley, of the brewery.
"For me, it marks the start of Christmas and this year looks set to be the best one yet as we have lots of Christmassy things going on over the whole weekend."
The fair runs until tomorrow, and is open from 10am. Admission is £2 for adults, £1 for pensioners, under-16s free
