Vintage stalls took over the markets in the town centre on Friday, as the town hall was being set up for a 1950s Rock n Roll dance.

The events, organised by Mansfield BID, ran from 8pm until 10.30pm and saw just over a thousand guests, many of whom looked the part in ‘vintage’ 1950s outfits.

Classic American cars and memorabilia were on display and there were a range of competitions and activities.
