Hi,

A properly varied weekend ahead — the Linnets are back at The Walks against Buxton, True's Yard tells the story of the Titanic through survivor accounts, and Stories of Lynn opens a new exhibition on the women accused of witchcraft in this very town centuries ago. Something for everyone, whatever the Norfolk weather decides to do.

Have a good one.
