Organisers of a north Norfolk tourism trade show say the high number of bookings they have received suggests the county's businesses are feeling confident.

The North Norfolk Simply Outstanding, one-day event takes place at Gresham's School, Holt, on March 26.

Companies including Tuddenham-based Norfolk Farmhouse Ice Cream, Broadland Wineries and Pensthorpe Nature Reserve have already signed up to exhibit and take the chance to talk to figures from the county's tourism industry.

David Hunter, chairman of the North Norfolk Tourism Round Table, said: 'We all understand just how difficult things are at the moment but the very positive response from Norfolk businesses tells me that they are perhaps more confident about the coming months that the national media would have us believe.'

Stand bookings can be made until March 12. For more information contact Bruce Stratton on 01263 515900 or email bruce@ctis-ltd.co.uk.
