Another magical day at Stody’s beautiful gardens awaits Norfolk’s youngsters on Sunday 4th May (free for under 12s). We have it on good authority that the thousands of flowers lining its woodland pathways are home to plenty of pixies and fairies, as well as the odd naughty pirate hiding their treasure.

This year, this family-friendly event will celebrate farming, with plenty to enjoy and learn about - from huge machinery to how we grow our crops and provide the food we eat, to cuddly farmyard animals (and the not so cuddly) and much, much more.

Ice-creams and delicious treats will be on offer as well as the full run of technicolour gardens and wide open spaces. The rhododendrons are perfect for making dens and exploring whilst carers and family can relax and enjoy the garden’s wonderful colours.

Fun Dog Show classes (£1 per class):
Dog with the waggiest tail
Dog that looks most like their owner
Dog with the best trick
Best young dog handler
Prettiest bitch
Most handsome dog
Puppy up to six months
Golden oldie over 8
