Horseback tricks, classical guitar wizardry and even a BMX show will all be part of the action at this year’s Worstead Festival. 

The village near North Walsham is hosting its annual bash over the July 29-30 weekend with a programme that spans everything from food to music to archery and wall climbing. 

Jane Bond, the festival’s chief organiser, said she was thrilled the event was returning for another year.

“Of course, we’ve organised lots more to make it the greatest day out for all the family.”

The festival usually attracts between 10,000 and 15,000 over the weekend.

The first Worstead Festival was held on the weekend of the World Cup football final in 1966 in order to fundraise for urgent repairs to St Mary’s. 

The event is run by volunteers and continues to raise money for local good causes.
