Dozens of customers at Britain's highest pub are set to spend a third night trapped by heavy snowfall brought by Storm Arwen.

Guests got stuck at the Tan Hill Inn, in the Yorkshire Dales, on Friday after going to watch an Oasis tribute band.

They are unable to leave because nearby roads are not useable partly due to fallen power cables.

Manager Nicola Townsend said everyone was in good spirits and that some people did not want leave.

Guests at the inn, which is 1,732ft (528m) above sea level, woke up to about 3ft (0.9m) of snow on Saturday, with it going all the way up near to the bedroom windows.

Ms Townsend said 61 people had so far spent two nights there, with many, including members of the band, having to set up camp in the pub's lounge.

 

"One lady actually said 'I don't want to leave'."

She said staff had put on activities to keep people entertained, including a quiz and board games and that a karaoke evening was planned for later.

One of the guests, Martin Overton, said the atmosphere was "very good" with "plenty of beer available".
