Traditional Christmas spirit alive and well at festive market
The spirit of a traditional Christmas could be seen and felt in the village of Emsworth when a festive market proved a popular destination for shoppers.
Sunday's market attracted an estimated 3,500 visitors with a day packed full of craft stalls, locally-produced food and vibrant entertainment.
Adding to the festive spirit was a Christmas stage, which featured singer songwriter Amba Tremain, local band Urbanvocal and the London-based CK Gospel Choir.
'We're delighted at the response to the first Christmas festival,' said Brendan Gibb-Gray, chairman of the Emsworth Business Association. 'Emsworth offers an incredible location to hold events like this.'
The event featured a number of Emsworth-based businesses as well as local producers and craftsmen.
Peter Hamilton-Black, one of the event's stallholders, said: 'The location was excellent and the guys who did the setting up did their best.'
