It was a day for a community to come together for a day of food, drink, music and festive fun in Stafford town centre.

The Stafford Jingle and Mingle event in Market Square saw the Mayor of Stafford Councillor Jenny Barron and her consort Alderman Ray Barron chat with stall holders and members of the public after officially opening the event.

There was also a wide and diverse range of entertainment, from buskers Finn & Alfie to dancers Phantom Arts to a full Morris dancing performance from Stafford Morris.

Alongside the performances were a wide range of stalls selling sweet treats and savoury snacks, as well as charity stalls looking to meet people and drum up donations.
