The weather eased off just in time for the crowds to pack into Otley for the 30th annual Victorian Fair and Christmas Market, which had more stalls than ever groaning with an array of Christmas goodies, and some of the stallholders in Victorian dress.

There were performances from local schools, dance groups and bell-ringing groups and for children, Punch and Judy shows, traditional fairground rides, as well as the Lion’s Santa’s grotto.
