Weather has caused chaos for the early Easter weekend with tourist attractions the worst affected.

The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for today as snow is falling heavily across the county.

Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach has had to close again today due to fierce winds which ripped off a roof on one of the offices yesterday.

Albert Jones, managing director, said he had never known the attraction to close for Easter weekend again - and he was devastated.

He said: “A lot of hard work has gone into getting the pleasure beach ready for this year with such an early Easter and with this very poor weather conditions and exceptional high winds for this time of year it's just been a nightmare.”

The tourist attraction on South Beach Parade is set to lose thousands of pounds.

Cromer Pier's Friday night performance of That'll Be the Day had to be cancelled because of the weather.

Manager feared the high seas deemed the theatre too dangerous - but hope tonight's show will still go ahead.

Ian Hall, general manager, at Cromer Pier said: “The waves were breaking over the sea wall and bringing lots of stones and rocks and things with them. Not a very pleasant place to be and not necessarily a very safe place to be when the sea is at its worst and at its highest.

“We have got pretty well a fully booked show for tonight and the weather has calmed down now.”

Families living in the NR11 patch of Norfolk are also without electricity because of the weather. EDF Energy are busy trying to reconnect the 550 homes.
