The agricultural machinery firm has covered various equipment including combines, tractors and sprayers in more than 2.5km of Christmas lights.

The company's organised the Christmas light exhibition across their branches in the region to try and spread some festive cheer after what's been a difficult year for many.

Hollie Cruikshank, who's Group Marketing Manager for Ben Burgess, said: "Two of our branches have created displays in previous years but we wanted to take part as a group and spread some festive cheer in the lead up to Christmas.

"It's been a difficult year for many, so our team has worked hard to put something special together and we are looking forward to welcoming the local community to our branches for them to enjoy our displays."

The lights are on every evening throughout the week from 4pm at their Norwich, Aylsham, Newmarket, Coates and Ellington branches.

Members of the public are welcome to go along in a covid-safe way and can find out more about safety measures in place on the firms local branch pages online.

Ben Burgess say it's also been working with local mental health charity YANA (You Are Not Alone) this year, supporting their cause by raising awareness of the charity's work which includes fully funded counselling.

Hollie added: "YANA stickers are on our tractor hire fleet and we are to also feature them on our Christmas displays. We hope it will make people aware of what they do and the support they provide."
