You are in for a blooming wonderful evening out at a Norfolk garden centre for its magical festive light switch-on.

Peter Beales Roses in Attleborough, home to the largest collection of roses in the UK, is hosting a late-night Christmas event on Friday, November 11 from 5pm until 7.30pm.

There is free entry and there will be a welcome mince pie and mulled wine, while stocks last, and discounts available at the garden centre.

The grand switch-on will be in the rose gardens at 6.30pm.

After the event, the magical gardens will be lit every Monday to Saturday until Christmas Eve from 4pm to 5pm for people to enjoy for free.

In response to the cost of living crisis, this year all the lights used are energy efficient LEDs and they are set on timers.

There is no need to book for the Christmas event and there is free parking.
