An art exhibition hopes to prevent the National Grid's plans for new pylons from Norwich to Tilbury. 

The Forncett Industrial Steam Museum, located in Forncett St Mary, had decided to shine a spotlight on Norfolk's talent with an event dedicated to celebrating the beauty of the countryside. 

Artists displayed their art and craftsmanship, showcasing the natural environment cherished by neighbours and visitors. 

The exhibition, however, harboured deeper motives.

Organisers, including Gill Starkie, Nick Francis, Norman Stevens, Christine Murton, and Nikki Maguire, say that the planned pylons pose a serious threat to the Norfolk landscape. 

They were determined to use the event as a beacon, visually demonstrating to visitors the potential ruin looming over the natural heritage should the construction proceed. 

The team also intended to promote a strategic offshore grid as a better, faster, and cheaper alternative to mainland pylons. 

They believed this method would have a lesser impact on the environment and community. 

'An Exhibition of the Arts: Celebrating our Countryside', was held on April 27 and 28.
