Join the Library and Information Service in celebrating Norfolk History Month and take a trip down memory lane at one of the county's many libraries to discover how our ancestors spent their leisure time.
The theme for the celebrations is historic pastimes.
Norfolk County Council cabinet member for cultural services Derrick Murphy said: “I am delighted to be celebrating Norfolk History Month as it provides us all with a wonderful opportunity to find out more about the rich history of our county and discover how our ancestors amused themselves without the modern gadgets many of us use today.”
