A three-day celebration of steam is returning to a popular attraction over the bank holiday weekend.

The Heritage Steam Gala will take place at Bressingham Steam Museum, near Diss, from Saturday, May 4 until Monday, May 6 2024 from 10.30am until 5pm on all days.

This year's event is extra special as it marks the start of a new partnership with the North Norfolk Railway (NNR).

The NNR's 9F No. 92203 locomotive "Black Prince" will be on display at the gala and then pulled into the museum's locomotive shed.

It will remain one of its star exhibits for the next two years until workshop space and funds are available for its next overhaul at the NNR.
