THE Maldon District calendar 2017 has been released, showcasing local photographers and landscapes in the area.

The final choice of photographs aims to show Maldon as an attractive destination for tourists, highlighting events such as the Maldon Mud Race and the Saltmarsh 75.

The calendar has taken almost three months to put together, with all the photographs being donated by local photographers.

It was put together by Marion Sidebottom of the Tourist Information Centre.

Councillor Ron Pratt, Chairman of Community Services, said: “The Maldon District calendar always makes a great gift or stocking filler, one of a great range of local products available from the Maldon and Burnham Tourist Information Centres.

“This year’s calendar looks great and features photos from talented local photographers from all over the District.”

The calendar is available to buy for £9.99 at the Maldon Tourist Information Centre, on Wenlock Way, and the Burnham Tourist Information Centre, on High Street.
