The town will come alive with these activities from August 17 to 26.

With more than forty activities to choose from, all designed to be cost-effective and interesting, there's something for everyone.

The activities also serve as samples of what the town has to offer throughout the year.

The finale of the active week will be an open day at the Gallow Sports Centre.

Richard Crook, Active Fakenham’s coordinator and organiser said: “We are pleased and excited about the ten days that are planned.

"We think there is something for everyone.

"We are particularly excited about the new river walk map we have produced following a beautiful stretch of the River Wensum.

The team has printed 6,000 maps for distribution across North Norfolk and also made them accessible via Active Fakenham's website.

Given the range of events, places are limited for some activities, necessitating early booking.
