Billericay was transformed into a winter wonderland as the town hosted its second Christmas fair extravaganza.

Dozens of stalls lined the High Street, musicians belted out festive hits and youngsters enjoyed an afternoon in a temporary ice rink.

An estimated 20,000 people packed into the town centre for Sunday’s event, which was organised by the Rotary Club of Billericay Mayflower with help from other local community groups.
