A huge fete with more than 200 stalls, a fun fair and a fireworks display is returning this year.
The Costessey Fete and Fayre is back for a fun-packed family weekend on Saturday, May 18, and Sunday, May 19, and will be held at the Norfolk Showground for the first time.
For its twelfth year, the fete will feature several food trucks and drink stalls, hundreds of craft stalls, a fun fair, live music and more.
Originally a small local village fete, the event was attended by 10,000 people in the summer of 2023, with organisers describing the fete as "by the community, for the community", with a mission to support small local businesses from Norfolk.

On the Saturday evening, visitors can expect music performances from two live bands followed by a grand firework display, as well as live wrestling matches on the Sunday evening.
Former Broadland and South Norfolk Councillor Gary Blundell has organised the event for more than a decade and is working alongside local DJ Jeremy 'Jezza' King this year.

He said: "It's a traditional summer event purely designed for the local community and bringing family and friends together - it's worth it for the smiles and joy you can see on peoples' faces."
The fete will be open to visitors from 10am to 10.30pm on Saturday and 10am to 8pm on Sunday.
Entry is £2 and is free for children aged five and under and free parking is available at the site.
Tickets can be purchased via the Costessey Fete and Fayre website.
