More than 400 people braved the weather to come along for Christmas crafts, donkey rides, willow weaving and Santa’s grotto at Runcorn Hill Park, organised by Halton Borough Council.

Halton Borough Council’s Executive Board Member for Events, Cllr Eddie Jones, said: “This was another free event put on by Halton Borough Council and it’s always pleasing to see how many people enjoyed it, despite the cold.”
