CHRISTMAS arrived in Hexham on Friday and Saturday as thousands of visitors flocked to the popular Christmas market and Abbey Christmas fair.
Stalls selling festive food, gifts and local produce filled the town centre while live music, fairground rides and even a visit from Santa and his reindeer kept youngsters entertained.
