Berkshire showmen turning snowmen to fight rising costs

Winter fairs and attractions are becoming a more common sight across the UK as showmen say they are having to work all year round to make ends meet.

Billy and Kelly Williams are a husband and wife team who have run Reading's Winter Wonderland for nearly a decade.

The couple say they used to only work the summer season, ending in September, but had to extend to the winter to make the operation more cost-effective.

The family even have Christmas dinner in their mobile home on site as there is not enough time to go home for the festivities.
