The River Church was spreading Christmas cheer in Maidenhead High Street on Saturday.
The church group held a nativity scene and had donkeys for children to have rides on.
The group puts everything on for free for the community and has been running its Christmas event in the town centre for the last six years.
Hot chocolate and biscuits were handed out to passers by who could also enjoy a performance by carol singers.
Dave Vann, part of the River Church leadership team, said: “We do this to bring a bit of cheer, take the stress away from Christmas shopping and let people enjoy themselves. “We don’t charge anything for it and fundraise the costs through the church; it’s by the church for the community.”
The group of about 40 volunteers were dressed in Father Christmas costumes throughout the day on Saturday.
