The past, present and future of a Great Yarmouth landmark will be highlighted this weekend.

A documentary about the Ice House on Bridge Road will debut as part of a weekend of activities showcasing its ongoing £500,000 restoration. 

The Grade II-listed building, which was once a vital part of Yarmouth's fishing industry, will be transformed into a national arts and circus centre.

 

The Ice House will be open from 1pm and 4pm on Saturday and Sunday, and the documentary will premiere at the event at 2pm on Saturday.

Before the premiere, Yarmouth historian Roger Silver will take visitors on a heritage talk and tour.

The weekend event is free to attend and will feature a programme of heritage learning, community workshops and circus performances.
