Food, drink and entertainment at Hunstanton Christmas event

The Hunstanton Christmas Festival and The West Norfolk Food and Drink Festival took place on Sunday 1st December.

The Christmas light switch-on in the seaside town incorporated a wide variety of entertainment much to the delight of the crowd that gathered for the annual event.

Despite the wet weather that meant there was a slow start to the day, people emerged as the sky cleared and after the Mayor's welcome at noon, a full programme of music, dancing and more began.

Photographer Ian Burt was there to capture some of the highlights for Town and Around.
