Santa was a “massive hit with the kids” when he paid a visit to the Chatsworth Road Winter Festival last Sunday.
The independent high street in Lower Clapton was being closed off to traffic to make way for the usual, award-winning Sunday Market, along with an entertainment stage with live music, a dog show, a bar by Brew By Numbers, free dog microchipping, and free bike marking from the Met Police.
Joint organiser Damian Patchell said: “The Winter Festival was a fantastic success, it was great to see familiar faces and new at the market and in the shops.
“The bouncy castle and Santa were of course a massive hit with the kids and the live music stage went down a treat.
“It was the first time we have partnered with Brew by Numbers and their chocolate and orange stout was a real Christmasy delight.”
