Crowds flocked to Honley on Saturday for a day of festive fun.

Families packed into the village for the ever-popular Christmas Street Market, organised by Honley Business Association.

Dozens of stalls featured businesses selling local produce while the merriment continued in St Mary’s Church with some musical entertainment to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

Performers included Honley Ladies Choir, Holme Valley Singers, Huddersfield Community Gospel Choir and the Honley Samba Band.

Organiser Sandie Nicholson said: “There was a lovely buzz and we had events going on all around the village. The whole community came together.
