Water sports, country walks and puppet shows are all part of a family fun day right on the doorstep of Norwich on Friday August 11th.

A chance to "Go Wild at Whitlingham" is available in the beautiful setting of Whitlingham Country Park, Trowse, just a short cycle ride from Norwich.

The annual fun day, organised by the Broads Authority from 10am-5pm, is centred on the Little Broad and its beach where there will be the opportunity to try sailing and canoeing. Landrover safaris and bicycle hire will enable visitors to explore the full extent of the 280 acre woodland park.

The day will feature other children's activities such as face painting, a chance to meet Broads Beat - the Broads' own police officers, as well as displays and exhibitions. The event is free with a small charge for some activities.
