Fantastic attractions, fun activities and stalls packed full of local produce pulled in close to 4,000 people to South Norfolk on Show at the council's Long Stratton headquarters on Sunday, July 13.
This is the fifth year running the council has promoted its services through a day of free entertainment for all the family and this year's attendance beat all previous records.
South Norfolk Council deputy leader Martin Wilby said: 'What a fantastic day, an excellent turnout and glorious weather.
'Everywhere you looked families were having fun and finding out about what the Council does in the process.'
'Every year the event gets more and more popular which is brilliant for all the local businesses, charities and entertainers who take part. We have so much to offer in South Norfolk and it's a fantastic chance to showcase everything that makes it such a great place to live, work and visit.'
Children marvelled at the Bubbleologist, had their picture taken with Ewoks, cheered Horatios Last Hurrah and made it to the top of Spider Mountain.
