There was plenty to see and do at this year’s Brighouse Christmas Market.

Crowds flocked to the town over the two days last weekend to check out everything the event had to offer.

There were more than 80 market stalls selling a variety of goods from food to gifts.

There was also a Christmas tree lights switch on, the chance to meet Santa, funfair rides, music and more.

The event was organised by Brighouse BID with Just My Look.
