Our show has been moved to Memorial Park Field, North Walsham (about 4 miles from Worstead), and is now one of the attractions of the North Walsham Carnival Day.
This last minute change of plan was due entirely to a decision of Worstead Hall's Committee on Friday 6th July, who informed us that we could no longer have the field at Worstead. The reason behind this - was that the ground was soft (due to recent rain), and they didn't want it ruined in the run-up to their annual Worstead Festival.
This was very unfortunate, and was extremely difficult to change venues at the last minute.
We hope you are still able to attend, and we have moved the starting time for the show back half an hour to allow people extra time to get there. The first category is now at 11.00am and the last category will be 3.50pm. The raffle will be drawn at 4.00pm.

Go STRAIGHT across, and after 100 yards you will come to a mini roundabout. At this roundabout TURN RIGHT, and continue along this short stretch of road (Grammar School Rd) until you come to T-junction, where the road has another mini-roundabout in the middle (with Lidl store behind). TURN RIGHT here, onto Yarmouth Road. The park is situated 100 yards on the left.

IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PARKING:
Please note - We can't advise you where to park, as we don't know the area very well. However, it's going to be Sunday, so most parking restrictions should not be in force. North Walsham has several car parks, so you may wish to use one of these, or alternatively park on a road bordering the park, where parking is permitted. Keep an eye out for signposted car parking, as the Carnival organisers may have allocated additional parking for the event.
