Centre stage was the Jolly Roger pirate ship and other attractions included a giant slide, children’s rides and a Christmas Market.

Local people were invited to take part in a Mannequin Challenge, as part of the fun, which involved everyone standing still in an ‘action pose’ for a few minutes.

The Christmas Market will be on the pier again on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 December and from Thursday December 22 - Saturday 24.
