Families had festive fun at a free event organised by a residents group.
Greenfields Community Housing's Witham Area Forum held the event at Witham Public Hall, which included face and baby bump painting, arts, crafts, games and sensory play activities.
The forum then held a meeting for residents to air their views about improvements being made by Greenfields in the area and to meet committee members and housing association staff.
