An event at a street food venue in Norwich has been slammed for using footage from Christmas markets in Germany to advertise it.  

A festive jazz band concert by Lumos Live is being held at Junkyard Market later this month. 

But instead of using images from Norwich to advertise it, people have been seeing footage from traditional Christmas markets across Europe.

A spokesman for Junkyard said it is “very clear” Lumos Live “is simply using Christmas imagery in its advertising to create the right kind of setting”. 

City folk have argued the venue's name coupled with the footage misrepresents the nature of what customers can expect from the 60-minute concert on November 29.

The advert features footage from the Hamburg Rathaus Christmas Market and even an event in Birmingham.

"Junkyard Market does not look like this,” Alex Toozey said after watching the video. 

Another local commented: "I can literally recognise some of the shots being from Hamburg Rathaus Christmas Market which I've been to many times."

Hayley Russell added: "That's not even in Norwich?" 

"Just looks like stock videos from German Christmas markets,” another person said.

One local added: "Junkyard Market is nothing like these pictures. Don’t be fooled." 

In response to the controversy, a spokesman for Junkyard Market said: "Lumos Live is an external promoter and is not affiliated with Junkyard Market. 

“It is bringing a wonderful Christmas jazz band to Norwich during the festive season and is certainly not promoting a Christmas market. 

“It’s very clear it is simply using Christmas imagery in its advertising to create the right kind of setting to promote its Christmas jazz band.

Lumos Live, which has held candlelit concerts across the country, has been contacted for comment.
