Park's historic contents for sale

Collectors will have the chance to bid for their very own piece of holiday history when the entire contents of an amusement park are put up for auction.

Buyers will be able to snap up rides, steam engines and vintage vehicles from the Village Experience in Norfolk.

The Fleggburgh park is to close in September when the owners to retire.

Park owner and director Robert Hudson said it was time to move on: "It's been a bit of a landmark in Norfolk but we have decided we want out."

The attraction opened in the 1980s and is set in 30 acres of woodland near Great Yarmouth.

Work has already begun cataloguing the contents which include a set of three-abreast gallopers built in 1897.

The auction is being held at the park in October when it ceases trading.
