A Norfolk attraction is going full steam ahead with its new tour launching this spring.
The Thursford Collection, near Fakenham, welcomes visitors to see the world's largest collection of steam engines and organs between April and September.
The complex is then transformed into a winter wonderland in November and December, where it hosts the world-famous Christmas Spectacular show.

After the sell-out success of backstage tours in 2023, they are back in 2024 and guests can uncover the secrets of the show with an afternoon tea at the end.
New for this year is the Steam Tour with the opportunity to see showman's engine Victory get steamed up, which underwent a huge restoration project in 2023.

The day will finish with a trailer ride, pulled by Victory, and a savoury afternoon tea.
John Cushing OBE, Thursford’s director, producer and CEO, said: "Both tours are set to inform, excite and enhance the overall experience of our visitors, with each offering something truly unique."
