A PANTOMIME themed Christmas Fair at Moulton Village hit the festive high notes on Saturday, attracting large crowds and raising £1,400 for good causes.

The kitchen area was transformed into a mini fairground while scenes from Ali Baba and his 40 thieves, Hansel and Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, and others lead to a Santa Claus grotto where each child received a present.

After the fair everyone went outside to watch the lights on the village Christmas tree being switched on. The switch on was followed by fireworks, mulled wine and hot dogs.

A percentage of the proceeds made by the grotto will be donated to Children In Need.
