THE first Christmas Light Fiesta took place in Westbourne town centre on Saturday between 4pm and 6pm.

Stilt walkers entertained shoppers while a big band performed live music. Visitors were also served wintry treats from traders hosting their special tastings.

The day is part of a series of festive events in the area, with live music, a Coastal BID Nutcracker trail and visits from Santa planned this December.
