Tom Paine Festival
Hugh Lupton, one of Britain's best-known storytellers, comes to Diss as part of the museum's Tom Paine Festival.
He and Nick Hennessey will present Liberty Tree, a history of dissent from Robin Hood to Tom Paine, at the United Reformed Church on Saturday 10th January at 7.30pm.
Tickets are £5 from Diss Library, Tourist Information Centre or on the door.

Admission is £2 at the door. Memorabilia includes: a CD and booklets about Paine's life and works, bookmarks, postcard packs and T-shirts.
