It will run in the mid-Norfolk village on Saturday and Sunday, June 13 and 14, from 10.30am to 4.30pm each day.

The event is now staged every two years, and the 2009 festival has as its theme The World Around Us.

As usual, it will take place in and around the 11th century All Saints' Church (pictured left) and nearby village hall.

The event will feature readings, poetry, music, workshops, puppets, clowns, exhibitions, demonstrations and a schools project.
