As Norfolk's biggest Christmas attraction gears up to return, the organisers have announced a change to the opening weekend schedule. 

Winter Wonderland is back for its second year at the Norfolk Showground, on the outskirts of Norwich, from November 17 until January 3.

A fireworks display was due to take place on Saturday (November 18) but this will no longer go ahead.

There was not an extra charge to see the fireworks and new for this year is wristbands, which give you free return entry after your first paid visit to the event. 

Winter Wonderland will include a real ice rink, fairground and thrill rides, an observation wheel, a real Christmas tree maze, a Santa's grotto, bars and live music.
