Father Christmas travelling down Sherrard Street in his reindeer decorated tractor drawn "sleigh". Melton's Victorian Christmas Fayre, held on the 1st Sunday in December, has become a regular feature of the festive season. The whole of the town centre is given over to market stalls selling all sorts of crafts and gift items with a range of street catering and street entertainment. Fancy dress is optional with many official participants and visitors alike joining in the fun.
