Hi,

Frontline Festival rolls into The Walks this Saturday with fire engines, police dogs and cadet demos, the Linnets finally got their first win of the season away at Brackley, and Lynn's old royal railway station is up for grabs if you fancy £1.25m of history. Here's your weekend.

Have a good one.
