Abingdon's Loose Cannon Brewery hosted a busy Christmas craft fair.

The microbrewery in Suffolk Way has been hosting the event for several years and it was busy with shoppers on Saturday, despite the wet weather.

More than 40 local traders were selling their crafts between 11am and 3pm.

Christmas cards, jewellery and other gifts were all on sale.

Loose Cannon Brewery is acting as a drop-off point for gifts.

The business opened on the trading estate in 2010 and since then has brewed more than 60 different beers, including Abingdon Bridge which is often served in pubs across Oxfordshire.

Morland Brewery traded in the town for many years until it closed in 2000.
