Families and friends enjoyed a festive get-together at Great Dunmow's Christmas Market.
The Mayor of Great Dunmow praised the hundreds of shoppers who braved the rain in search of family entertainment, shopping, food and drink on Saturday (November 27).
The Mayor said: "It's wonderful to see so many people enjoying the market in Dunmow.
"We have got wintery weather, but visitors and stallholders have lined the streets to enjoy each others' company and support our shops and businesses."
As well as the traditional market, musicians performed live in Market Place.
Santa and his elves visited The Saracen's Head, and the library hosted a Christmas Crafts event.
The Great Dunmow Town Team organised this year's market.
