Organised by a group of National Trust volunteers, the event, which will span Edwardian times, to the 1950s, was held for the first time in 2011.

Volunteers will be handing out time travellers' maps at an event tent near the park's visitor centre, with highlighted historic sites including an Edwardian garden, a Second World War pillbox manned by Home Guard volunteers, a 1950s farmyard with vintage tractor, and a working sawmill, complete with traction engine loaned by farmer Richard Parrot, of Weeting, near Thetford Forest.
