A one-day Christmas fayre with around 150 stalls in the small Shropshire market town of Much Wenlock, ending with a candlelit procession and carols.

Once a year, on a Saturday in early December, the medieval market town of Much Wenlock in Shropshire fills with around 150 stalls for its Christmas Fayre, alongside the town's independent shops dressed up for the season.

There are performances and entertainment around the town during the day, and it finishes with a candlelit procession down the High Street and carol singing on the Square.

It's free to attend.
