Christmas traditions in the East of England. Christmas swims in Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Hertfordshire.

We all have them. Christmas traditions are what make the festive season fun. Whether it’s baking, playing board games with the family or new pyjamas on Christmas eve, traditions create lasting memories.

If you’re feeling brave this year, why not join in one of East Anglia’s biggest Christmas traditions; a fresh dip in the north sea. Wrap up warm and join the hundreds of participants on the beach, before shedding the layers and plunging into the icy water. Do it for fun or raise money for charity, either way it’s a Christmas experience you’ll never forget!

Hunstanton, 25 December, 10.30am
