The UK's biggest outdoor bowls festival has raised hundreds of pounds for charity.
The Visit Great Yarmouth Festival of Bowls 2024, which ran from August 25 to September 21, collected £635.52 through a charity raffle.
The money was donated to The Well foodbank in Gorleston.
Centre 81, which provides a transport service for people who cannot access public transport, also raised £450.30 at the tournament with a tombola.
The festival, organised by Great Yarmouth Borough Council and the Festival of Bowls Committee, included 12 tournaments.
