Enjoy all the fun of après-ski without forking out on flights at the magical

Enjoy all the fun of après-ski without forking out on flights at the magical Christmas village launched in a Norwich car park.

Junkyard Market, which first launched in 2020 in response to the pandemic, takes place outside St Mary's Works off Duke Street.

It has just been given a Christmas makeover, featuring a ski lodge, winter garden, a giant tipi and a geodome, which are all free to book.

Groups of up to eight people can also book one of two ski gondolas, which costs £25 for two-and-a-half hours.

Festive decorations include a 13ft real Christmas tree and a huge stack of Christmas films, such as Home Alone and Love Actually.

The street food on offer includes crêpes and Yorkshire pudding wraps, with festive drinks such as mulled wine and boozy hot chocolates.

Michael Femi-Ola, one of the organisers, said: "It is a fun way to get into the Christmas spirit which supports local businesses and traders."
