FAMILIES and traders came together for a festive fair on Oldbury’s Lion Farm Estate.

Christmas lights were switched on in the surrounding buildings in Hartlebury Road and Martley Road, while children enjoyed a fun fair on the car park.

Santa was in his grotto in the Lion Farm Action Centre and refreshments were served at Rounds Green Library, while traders dished up hot food.

St James Church played host to a variety of performances, craft stalls and outside activities and the St James Primary School Christmas Fair ran alongside the event.
