Family fun, rural bygones, arena entertainment and music combine as festival time gets under way at Worstead this weekend.
It is a special year as the long-running event marks its 50th anniversary.
Limited edition Worstead 50 T shirts have been made for the golden weekend by local artist Shane Mallett.
And there will be launches of books charting the stories of the famous weaving village and founder member Gavin Paterson. But the crowds heading to Worstead will be able to enjoy the usual mix of ring events, stalls and entertainment that have been its hallmark over half a century.
Inside the parish church there will be demonstrations of weaving on the looms which spun the Worsted cloth that brought the community fame and fortune.
The aisles will also host the creative designs and aromas of a flower show.
There are two display rings: a country ring for heavy horses, and a main ring where events will include vintage vehicle displays and dog and duck herding.
The popular Norwich and Norfolk Medieval Association will be back with their encampment and battle re-enactments.
A Best of Norfolk Food marquee will showcase mouth-watering local food and there is a Pimms and fizz tent.
For the first time there will be a Worstead World Swingball Championship.
Other fun includes a treasure hunt around the whole site, while youngsters can have fun launching water-fuelled pressurised rockets.
There is an art show, activity tent by the Friends of Worstead School and a fun dog show.
The action starts with the traditional five-mile road race on the Friday night.
Entrance remains at £5 a head, with accompanied children under 12 free. Parking is free.
