SEVEN thousand visitors attended Light Up Shoreham, a Christmas market and late night shopping event, on Friday.
There were more than 3,000 lights on the Christmas tree and 76 stalls festooned with colourful bulbs.
As well as plenty of shopping, visitors enjoyed fairground rides, carol singing, and a visit from Father Christmas and his reindeer.
Shoppers were invited to choose their favourite Christmas shop window in exchange for a mince pie.
The winner was Cancer Research UK.
Adur district Councillor Emma Evans said: “What a fantastic evening we had on Friday.
“There was such a wonderful buzz throughout the town and so many of our local traders took part making it a real community event.
“We have been so fortunate this year to not only have a great team within the council but also a fantastic and enthusiastic team of Shoreham elves putting real energy, time and local knowledge into arranging the event.
“I am hoping that with their help we can build on this year’s success to make next year’s event even bigger and better.”
