A one-off street market in a County Durham town has been hailed as a "wonderful" evening.

Stanley’s Tricks & Treats Market was a huge success this Halloween, drawing in crowds for an evening of frightful fun, community spirit, and creative costumes.

The market provided families with the perfect opportunity to shop, browse, and soak in the festive atmosphere, while also supporting local businesses.

Many stallholders joined in the Halloween fun with themed products and decorations.

One of the evening's highlights was a captivating fire artist performance, adding an extra element of Halloween magic with daring flames and hypnotic routines.

The interactive Pumpkin Trail was a hit with both children and adults, as participants searched for hidden pumpkins around the market to win prizes.

Families lit up Front Street with their smiling faces as they competed for Halloween goodies.
