The comeback of the year has taken place at a Farnham church as its first Christmas market for five years has raised more than £11,000.

Supporters of St Thomas have definitely earned a glass of mulled wine as their revived market on November 30 was a massive success with around 400 attending.

The market opened by Greg Stafford MP featured a treasure trove of festive treats from Christmas gifts and decorations on sale alongside crafts, cakes and chutneys.

Books, toys, bric-a-brac, scarves were also available along with a raffle called by vicar, Revd Sandy Clarke.

Farnham mayor, Cllr Brodie Mauluka, also paid a visit with proceeds being split between Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice Care and the St Thomas stained glass window repair fund.

Organisers would like to thank the likes of Farnham Family Butchers, The Binsted Inn, New Dawn Inns, The Bourne Club, Squires and more for their support.
