The Lancashire Market made its return to Friargate with Prestonians eager to stock up on Easter provisions.

Food stalls were popular as always with Easter-themed cakes, pies and cheeses available to buy.

Entertainment for the kids was in full flow at the top end of Friargate up towards the university, with the Preston City Council outdoor entertainment rig parked up.
