Those organising this year's Royal Norfolk Show have told us the two day event will feature over 700 organisations.

The annual county exhibition, put together by the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, gets underway from 7.30am today and runs until past 6pm on Thursday.

It's the 170th time this has been held and those going are being urged to leave extra time for their journeys - to allow for congestion and delays.

It's because repair works are being carried out on the A11 between Spooner Row and Tuttles Interchange- meaning a single-lane system and a 40 mph speed limit is in place.

'Plan your journey'

Mark Nicholas is managing director of the RNAA. He has this travel advice for those heading down: "For those coming by car, there's plenty of parking.

"I would suggest planning your journey carefully, because roads get congested in the build-up and on the morning of the show, but there's room for lots of people to park...

"If you're coming by bus, there's a service running from the centre of Norwich, from the bus station, to the showground. There are also other local services that connect in to the show."
