Festive spirit on show in Stalham

Shoppers in North Norfolk have been enjoying spending their Christmas cash to the sound of Stalham Brass Band.

Stalham
  The Stalham Band players kept snug and warm playing their carols

Festive visitors to Stalham's Yuletide Market in North Norfolk on the weekend forgot the wind and rain as they were able to enjoy the musical accompaniment to their shopping sprees offered by members of Stalham Brass Band.

Shoppers were able to mingle around the craft stalls, Christmas Tree Festival and Santa's Grotto throughout the day with the music floating in the air thanks to the 24 players under MD Tim Thirst.

The band use their specially adapted transport to offer the entertainment — all sat snugly inside.
