Eye-catching wreaths are brightening up a town's shop windows thanks to the return of a festive trail. 

Families are being invited to try and complete Dereham's Christmas Wreath Trail, which has once again been organised by Dereham Baptist Church.

A total of 58 wreaths will remain on display until December 31. 

Now in its fourth year, the wreath trail was launched with the idea of drawing people into town and attracting them to Dereham's range of independent businesses.

Lyn Milns, one of the organisers, said: "It is always very exciting to see what people do for their wreaths. The shops tend to try and incorporate what their businesses are all about. 

"We see families going round with their checklists trying to find the wreaths which is lovely, and it is something free for them to do."

Trail checklists are available from Green Pastures, Dereham Library and the YMCA charity shop.

A wreath festival will take place at Dereham Baptist Church from Thursday to Saturday (December 15-17).
