A TOURING festival brought nearly 100 gift and craft stalls inside marquees to Burnley's Towneley Park.

Visitors chose from traditional Christmas gifts such as cushions, clothes and candles while music came from Paradise Caribbean Band.

Demonstrations of floral art, sugar craft and cooking with herbs by Welsh chef Jon White and a live owl display added extra spice.

The two-day festival will be in York at the end of the month.
