A Norfolk railway station will host a four-day celebration including a beer festival to mark a special anniversary. 

Whitwell and Reepham Station will be marking 15 years of its reopening as a heritage railway with festivities on February 24 and February 25 and March 2 and March 3.

The station reopened in 2009 after it was bought by Hellesdon businessman Mike Urry, 50 years after it first closed. 

The event will feature the station's regular steam engine, Agecroft, as well as a guest Peckett and Sons Locomotive visiting from Buckinghamshire Railway Centre.

"We’re really looking forward to two weekends of full-on steam entertainment."
