A Norfolk garden centre is holding a special event as it gets a magical transformation for the festive period.
UPDATE: THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE RECENT SPELL OF HEAVY RAIN
Peter Beales Roses in Attleborough has announced that its 2023 Christmas lights switch-on event is on Friday, November 17 from 5pm to 7.30pm with free entry.
There will also be a welcome mince pie and mulled wine, while stocks last, and exclusive discounts on the night.

Following the event, the gardens will be lit from 4pm to 5pm on Monday to Saturday until the end of November.

Then from December 1 to 23, the lights will still be switched on from 4pm to 5pm Monday to Friday, but with a later end time on Saturdays at 6pm, with the Rosarium Restaurant serving drinks and snacks until 5.30pm.
A spokesperson for Peter Beales Roses said: "We have ensured that all lights used are energy-efficient LEDs and are set on timers.
"These steps allow us to offer the same magical Christmas experience as in previous years, while reducing the amount of energy being used."
It is free to visit the gardens at Peter Beales Roses.
