A celebration of tattoos and cars is returning for another year after thousands attended the inaugural festival last month.

After plenty of "amazing" feedback Ink and Engines Fest will be coming back in 2025 and people can expect a range of new events, including a burnout stage where cars can burn rubber.

The festival's first ever event brought in roughly 8,000 petrolheads and tattoo enthusiasts at Norfolk Showground on August 17 and 18.

It was organised by couples Shane and Nicola Grady, who own Cold Iron Tattoo Company in Norwich, and Daisy Bonham and Aaron Riches of wedding and event planning business Smoke & Wildwood.

Nicola said there are very exciting things coming for next year after a "phenomenal" first crack at the scene.

She said: "The weekend exceeded our expectations, it was phenomenal.

"Being our first event we wondered how many people would turn up but after seeing the numbers and getting so much positive feedback was amazing.

"We were really pleased how we got people on site easily, the layout of the indoor event centre with the tattoo artists and the variety of things to do.
