A huge touring theme park has opened at a venue near the city and there are new rides for 2024. 

The Matthews family, who live in Stoke-on-Trent, have brought Funderworld back to the Norfolk Showground by popular demand.

It is open from now until May 12 and then May 20 to June 2, featuring more than 25 rides and attractions.
