Lynn’s historic fair is expected to be back up and running this afternoon following snowfall yesterday.

The Mart was set to welcome members of the public at 2pm yesterday for its second day open this year.

However, West Norfolk was hit with snow showers which lasted until around 4pm.

This morning, the weather is entirely different, with sunny skies gleaming over the fair, which has been coming to Lynn for hundreds of years.

It is expected that it will be business as usual for the Mart today, with the fair opening at 12pm.
