Bingley Chamber of Trade and Commerce gave the community a free day of fun to start the festive season with its Christmas Fair and Lights Switch On this year.

The Saturday event featured a wide range of free to use attractions including a snowboarding machine, Blackpool donkey rides and others.

Chamber spokesman Howard Martin said organisers had been up since 5.30am to make sure the event ran smoothly and added: "There have been queues for everything and everyone is enjoying themselves.

"It is all free and makes a day out for the family. It is nice that we can put everything on for nothing and our aim is to keep it free for Bingley," he said.
