A Norfolk farm shop and cafe is hosting two weekends of festive fun with a craft fair and food festival.
Hirst's Farm Shop and Cafe in Ormesby is getting into the Christmas spirit from today (November 26) with local makers setting up stalls offering seasonal gifts and more over the weekend.
Next weekend sees the business host its first-ever food and drink fair, with vendors like the Bucket List and a bar run by Wildcraft Brewery setting up at the site.
As well as an action-packed calendar of events this winter, work has also been under way to expand the farm shop and cafe, creating a new "cosy space" that will double as a function space for private events.
Owner Rob Hirst said: "We are really looking forward to getting into the Christmas spirit and hope people will join us.
"This weekend we will be selling Christmas trees and will also have a craft fair going on so people can enjoy food from the cafe and hunt for unique gifts.
"The following Friday (December 2) is the start of our first-ever food and drink festival, which will be something new and different for us.
"It will be hosted in our cow shed which we hope will be a new experience for people and we will have live music into the evening.
"We have linked up with businesses we already work with and we hope people will come along and enjoy a night on the farm."
As well as an action-packed fortnight of events, the firm has been hard at work developing the site following a successful 18 months since opening.
"It has been an unbelievable start for us and now we are hoping to double the size of the cafe" Mr Hirst added.
"The project is coming along well and should be complete in the New Year, creating a cosy space which will be a nice addition to what we are doing.
"As well as providing more space for cafe customers, we will also use it for special events and private functions.
"We have a great team of staff who have helped make it such a success."
The craft fair runs today and Sunday between 10am to 3pm and next week's food and drink festival will be open on Friday (December 2) and Saturday (December 3) between 4pm - 9pm.
