An annual festival celebrating local seafood is set to make waves when it returns to Norfolk this month. 

The Oyster Festival is back at The White Horse in Brancaster Staithe, named among the UK's top 50 gastropubs, from Friday, August 18 until Sunday, August 20 with free entry and no need to book.

It will run from 12noon until late each day and there will be lots of Brancaster oysters shucked and served in a variety of ways, which can be washed down with English sparkling wines from Nyetimber.
