AN OLD time fun fair, scrumptious food court and real life reindeer went down a treat with revellers in Nailsworth on Friday, November 28.

The town's streets were packed with families as a procession to mark the start of the christkindl evening took to the streets.

Olympians Peter Reed and Dan Robinson led the procession with real reindeer pulling santa's sleigh.

The evening marked 25 years since current organiser Claire Uzzell's mother, Daphne Bruton, organised the first event so was extra special.

There were carols throughout the night in Mortimer Gardens, a nativity scene and Santa's grotto.
