Thousands of people enjoyed the Birkdale Christmas Fayre on Sunday (3rd December 2023).
The Village became a winter wonderland with visits by Santa, choirs, fairground rides, food stalls and more.
The village is famous for its wide range of quality local independent traders – not many villages still have a fishmonger, a greengrocer, a butcher and even a cheese shop!
