The historic community has a rich past linked to the medieval weaving industry, and those skills will be showcased in the impressive church.
But outside there is also a range of family entertainment including music, theatre, vintage vehicles, dog show and farming bygones.
Other attractions include the Norfolk and Norwich Medieval Association, Bewilderwood, Davenport's Magic Kingdom, birds of prey and heavy horses.
The acrobatic antics of the Norfolk Parkour Alliance will be on display during Saturday and drumming team Trix'n'Stix on the Sunday, as well as zorb balls and bungee trampolines both days.
