A Suffolk landmark is hosting a one-off Christmas event this week as the busiest shopping day of the year looms.
Snape Maltings is well known nationwide for its summer season of a variety of musical events, with artists such as KT Tunstall and Sheku Kanneh-Mason heading to the stage this year.
However, this year visitors to the site today, November 23, will be able to enjoy a festive shopping day and capitalise on extended opening hours, with the site open for customers until 7.30pm.
Local businesses will be at the event, which is set to be a one-stop shop for those looking to support small local businesses this Christmas.
