Hull saw its first snow of the winter on Saturday afternoon as the Old Town was transported back in time to celebrate a Victorian Christmas.
And while it wasn't quite a genuine white Christmas, a snow machine was on hand to create a picture postcard scene in the Museum Quarter, where an outdoor ice-skating rink was among the highlights of activities.
Jonathan Allen, 27, who lives in the city centre, took his six-year-old nephew Connor for a walk around.
He said: "It's been good. We had a wander around the stalls, looking at the crafts, and listening to some of the music. Connor went ice skating and we bought some roast chestnuts."
The 20th Victorian Christmas was organised by Heritage Learning, taking visitors back in time with traditional Victorian music, entertainment, story-telling, children's crafts, face-painting and a vintage steam organ.
For Connor, the highlight was the synthetic ice rink.
"Ice skating was my favourite," he said. "I enjoyed it. I also liked the roast chestnuts."
Actor Robyn Guy, dressed in Victorian-style clothes, was among the volunteers.
The Hull College drama student said: "It's been very good for children as there have been loads on interactive things for them to get involved with.
"The event is something a bit different for people visiting the city."
The event is one of a series of seasonal activities put on by Heritage Learning, which joined forces with Hull Business Improvement District and the Trinity Open Market. Previous events have included an Edwardian Easter celebration.
Roger and Diane Soper, of crafts store The Wood Man, were among stall-holders.
"It has been much busier than last year, said Mrs Soper.
"People have been buying non stop. It's the busiest event we've had.
"The snow's good and there has been a great atmosphere. People are enjoying themselves."
