To coin what has become a popular Norfolk phrase – let’s be havin’ you! That is the message from the team behind this year’s Norfolk Store.

With excitement growing ahead of the celebration of everything great about our county, we are urging pubs, restaurants, community halls and bus drivers to grab themselves some merchandise.

From Norfolk Day flags and bunting to locally made produce and clothing, groups and organisations are gearing up for the big day on Tuesday, July 27.

Since the launch of the annual event, the Norfolk Store has gone from strength to strength and now features a variety of products including those from lockdown start-ups.

She explained why she looked forward to the event every year.

"I’ve always wanted to be part of the celebration of our amazing county,” she said. “One reason being, to bring the joy of the Norfolk dialect to everyone as it resonates with so many - gotta keep it goin' han't we?

"And what's not to love about a day to celebrate being one of the Nor-folk?

"We're so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the UK - one that's full of lovely rummins - and it deserves a day of appreciation."
