The festival committee teamed with Garstang Independent Traders which has given a extra push this year to get everybody in the High Street involved.

Many of the town’s shops have dressed up their windows with Victorian Christmas theme with The Dressing Room named the ‘best dressed’ for their Nutcracker Suite display.

A spokesperson said: “The Victorian theme is making a welcome comeback this year with many of the stall holders and shopkeepers dressing up in traditional clothing.

“Look out for the Victorian themed shop windows which greatly add to the atmosphere.
