DOZENS packed out The Mailcoach in the town centre to take part in Swindon and Wiltshire Pride’s Christmas spectacular.
The Christmas Extravanagza took place at the Fleet Street bar on as the town’s LGBT community celebrated the festive season.
From 4.30pm, families could head along to meet Father Christmas in a special Santa’s Grotto and marvel at the Christmas tree stand at the Mailcoach’s garden and function room.
Their grown-up visitors also enjoyed mulled wine, egg nog and could take part in a raffle, as well as enjoy a choir singing carols in the twinkling lights of the decorations.
Then from 7.30pm there was an exclusive adults-only party, where the winner of the fancy dress competition could win a bottle of bubbly.
All those taking part by dressing in fancy dress could also have a free jelly shot.
The evening was a roaring success with everyone enjoying the festivities.
One of the partygoers said on Facebook: “What a fantastic night, I had a ball.
“Congratulations to all who volunteered and to those who arranged it all.”
The committee is now busy preparing for the Swindon and Wiltshire Pride 2015.
