Back home in Australia's Northern Territory, Paul and Naomi Wright are used to average temperatures of around 30 degrees Celsius in December. They wanted to experience snow in winter and chose to end their round-written trip in the North Yorkshire Dales. But perhaps they didn't expect quite as much snow.

The couple were among 23 guests, six staff members and a dog who were stuck inside the pub. But they made the most of their extended holiday. Paul pulled his first pint of beer and built his first ever snowman. Naomi found plenty of things to keep herself busy too.

Yeah, party last night. That party resulted in some guests feeling a little tender the following day, according to staff. Pub manager Nicole Hayes said it was wonderful to see the friendships that had formed.

And this isn't the first time for the Tanhill Inn. In 2021, 60 people who came to the pub to watch an Oasis tribute band ended up trapped there for three days because of heavy snow. Thankfully, staff are prepared for these situations and make sure they have enough accommodation, fuel and food to get them through. Naomi said her family were well looked after by their hosts.

For Paul, though, there was only one real complaint when the pub ran out of sausages. He joked that it was atrocious, saying he was gutted there was no pork sausages, no more English breakfast. Chantal Hartle reporting.
