The first event to be held by the town's Walkers are Welcome group will take place on March 31 and invites children and their families to participate in a treasure hunt on the Neatherd Moor.

The second, held on April 2, is for all walking enthusiasts who want to take on a 6.5mile walk along country paths and the River Tud. It includes starting with a ride on the Mid Norfolk Railway's heritage diesel railcar to Yaxham and a brief visit to Badley Moor.

For those who aren't able to take part, the group is also encouraging people to pick up one of their free packs, which details 14 different self guided walks.

They can be found in various locations in Dereham, including the library and town council offices.
