A south Norfolk market town has three big events planned, including one that will transform the town centre into a beach. 

Harleston Town Council have revealed the details of three upcoming events that will take place in the town this year. 

On June 20, the council will host a street food festival to celebrate the Summer Solstice.

Attendees can enjoy a range of street food stalls and are encouraged to bring camping chairs, tables and drinks.

The council says they hope the event will become an annual tradition.
 
On October 31, the town will become ‘Horrifying Harleston’ as people are invited to visit the town centre in fancy dress and search for Halloween characters hidden within the shops.
