Hi,

It's a big one — Saturday night brings a full Pink Floyd tribute to the Corn Exchange, then Sunday sees Tuesday Market Place fill with classic cars while over 50 of Lynn's historic buildings throw open their doors for Heritage Open Day. The bandstand in The Walks gets one last outing for the season too, so make the most of it while the weather holds.

Have a good one.
