There was lots of festive cheer at St John the Baptist Primary School in Portadown on Saturday.

The school’s Christmas craft fair provided the opportunity to browse a variety of stalls full of tasty treats, handmade crafts along with plenty of seasonal surprises.

A highlight of the event was a visit by Santa, who was greeted with loud cheers as he arrived at the school on a suitably decorated truck.

Photographer Tony Hendron was there to capture some of the fun moments.
