Visitors flocked to the Norfolk Hospice Tapping House's Hillington headquarters at the weekend for the charity's annual spring fair.

An array of stalls were set up for the event on Saturday, which also included the draw of the hospice's spring raffle, a barbecue and refreshments in the hospice's cafe.
