A family-run farm near Ipswich has expanded its Christmas offering with a new festive shop in the run-up to the big day this year.
Akenham Hall Farm, in Henley Road, offers a wide range of Suffolk-grown Christmas trees every year, and now they have added a new space.
The tree farm opened to the public a week and a half ago, on November 25, and will continue opening every day until December 23 for last-minute Christmas purchases.
The trees are locally grown and freshly cut or potted Nordmann Fir and Norway Spruce trees, coming in a range of sizes and pots.

Families can go and hand-pick the perfect focal points for their homes with Christmas trees, wreaths and decorations, along with other gifts and stands for the trees.
A netting service is also available once they have chosen their tree.
The farm is a traditional, family-run arable farm, which grows wheat, barley, oilseed rape, sugar beet and most recently, borage, with all the family chipping in to help.
The Christmas tree farm has been going for more than 30 years, with Tom and Anne Wheaton selling trees in Essex before moving to the farm on the outskirts of Ipswich in 1995, where they brought up sons Ben and James and daughter Emily, now 26.
Emily Wheaton said: "We have been selling a few bits last year, but we have a new building now so we have made it into a shop.
"It's been good. People are very keen and have been early to get into the festive spirit. We have been open since November 25, but people came and wanted to get festive, which is lovely."
The farm also decided to expand its pumpkin patch this year after growing the crop for the second year running.
