The Rural Pastimes Show.

This is an excellent show and a cracking day out for the whole family. Covering the whole spectrum of countryside activities; hunting, shooting, fishing, archery, dogs, and horses, etc. (theres usually a catapult range).

There are many exhibits covering country ways and life from bygone eras, and many stands representing the people and small companies who still practice some of these traditional country crafts.

The Rural Pastimes Show, Near Thetford Norfolk (10 mins from the A11- signposted), Sunday 8th of June 2008.
