SANTA hit Benarty on Friday night and the children were out from Friday at 5pm having a lot of fun.

It started a real festive weekend as Santa paraded through Crosshill, Lochore and into the Flockhouse Avenue community centre.

Then on Saturday there was the Christmas Fayre held at the centre which saw a forenoon of high activity.

Benarty Events Group's Eddie Easson said: "It was a fine evening on Friday and it was great to see families out to welcome Santa to the community."
