STALLHOLDERS at a village farmers market enjoyed brisk business on Sunday as visitor numbers were boosted by festive attractions.

Father Christmas visited Sedgefield Farmers' Market on his sleigh, refreshments were served and there was live music for shoppers on Sunday.

On Friday, at 6.15pm, there will be carol singing around the Christmas tree, which has been provided by the Round Table.

The village plans to hold a fireworks display on the Green to celebrate New Year's Eve.
