First held 24 years ago as a one-off event, the 1940s weekend has since grown beyond all expectation, attracting people from all over the country and spreading its wings to include local pubs, clubs, shops and churches.
Those taking part are ferried between the two towns by vintage buses and the railway’s steam and diesel trains, with the Poppy Line also laying on a host of attractions at its three north Norfolk stations.
