The Santa Sunday event at Lough Neagh Discovery Centre was full of festive family fun.

There was the chance to meet Santa and Mrs Claus, enjoy some nature crafts, soak up the Christmas atmosphere with music from the Cantabile Choir as well as catch a glimpse of a very curious elf.

Photographer Tony Hendron took these fun-filled photos of some of the many visitors who enjoyed the day.

Pictured with Santa Claus at Lough Neagh Discovery Centre are the Ferguson family including, dad, Chris, Fionn (2), Enda (8 months) and mum, Caoimhe. LM50-221.
