Hundreds braved the cold today (Saturday) to make an early start to the festive season by flocking to Llangollen's Christmas Festival.
The annual event kicked off in style with the traditional parade headed by Santa who was driven to the Town Hall in his sleigh to take up residence in his grotto where he was visited by scores of excited youngsters wanting to share their Christmas lists with him.
There was a full programme of entertainment out on the Town Hall steps and in nearby Market Street, including a display by the Clerical Error morris dancers, a Punch and Judy show and music from solo performers and St Collen's choir and orchestra.
Proceeds from the event will be shared between Wales Air Ambulance and the fund to put on next year's festival.
