PARTS of Sale West became a magical Christmas Wonderland as part of a festive event organised by Irwell Valley Housing Association.

Sale West Community Church staged the nativity and Father Christmas took time out of his busy schedule to hand out some early Christmas presents.

Other attractions included the carnival of animals featuring, in keeping with the time of year, reindeers.

There were also donkey rides for the children and the sale of food and refreshments raised more than £300 for the charity Mary's Meals.
