A historic funfair is returning to west Norfolk on Valentine's Day and it will run for almost a fortnight.

The King's Lynn Mart takes place at the Tuesday Market Place and it has been pitching up in the town centre for more than 800 years.

The fair was also granted a Royal Charter by King Henry VIII in 1537.

This year's event will run from February 14 until February 25, excluding Sunday, February 19.

Prices will be £2.50 or £3 per ride as the organisers wanted to make sure it was still an affordable day out for families. 

Children's Day is on Wednesday, February 15, to coincide with the February half-term, and all rides will be £1.50. 

The fair will be set up this weekend ready for the grand civic opening on Tuesday when the Mart and its showmen are blessed.
