Sip mulled wine while sitting in a cosy ski lodge at the Christmas Village running in Norwich throughout December.

Norwich street food park Junkyard Market, based outside St Mary's Works, has been transformed into a winter wonderland.

The Christmas Village is open from Thursday, December 1 and a launch event is running from 5pm to 10pm, with carols from Norwich choir Invidia Voices from 7pm.

It will be open Thursday to Sunday from December 1 to December 18 and then Tuesday to Saturday from December 20 to 31, with Junkyard closed on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Tables can be pre-booked online and the areas include a ski lodge and gondolas, tipi village and a winter garden.

There are fairy lights across the site and the centrepiece is a 13ft real Christmas tree.

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."

The festive drinks include mulled wine and hot chocolates and there will be at least five street food vendors each night.

The Yorky Shack will be there every day, offering loaded roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding wraps.

On December 3 and 4 from 12noon to 5pm, bauble-making workshops are running for children in the tipi, which is pay-what-you-can-afford.
