Organisers, including Gill Starkie, Nick Francis, Norman Stevens, Christine Murton, and Nikki Maguire, say that the planned pylons pose a serious threat to the Norfolk landscape.

They were determined to use the event as a beacon, visually demonstrating to visitors the potential ruin looming over the natural heritage should the construction proceed.

The team also intended to promote a strategic offshore grid as a better, faster, and cheaper alternative to mainland pylons.

'An Exhibition of the Arts: Celebrating our Countryside', was held on April 27 and 28.
