Volunteers worked hard to make sure the Christmas market and tree lights switch-on could go ahead after the overnight snowfall.
Live music kept everyone entertained through the afternoon until the countdown to the switch-on, which was led by Mayor Jon Wright.
Santa made an appearance at the end of the afternoon, distributing chocolate coins to all the children.
