A Boston Borough Council spokesman said: “It’s always a great event when the Knights appear.

“It was also lovely to be able to offer a pop-up cafe from Fran at Chocolate Fairy Catering to accompany the festive activities.

“Hand-made Christmas decorations such as the kissing bough helped to bring the medieval festive traditions to life.

“Those who attended enjoyed exploring the stories behind what we still use at home today, such as mistletoe and decorations, to celebrate the festive season.”
