Ale lovers will have the chance to jump aboard a beer train later this month on a Norfolk heritage railway.

The event is being run by Mid Norfolk Railway between Friday, September 23 and Sunday, September 25 as part of its Diesel Weekend.

Passengers can enjoy local tipples from Tindall Brewery of Seething, while enjoying a trip while being transported through Wymondham and Dereham.

The weekend will feature guest mainline and heritage engines, including a first visit of the D8001 locomotive courtesy of the Epping and Ongar Railway.
