Step back in time as Britain's poshest train heads to Ipswich Station for an unforgettable afternoon tea experience.

The Northern Belle, once part of the Orient Express group, transports passengers back to the golden age of rail travel with 1930s-style Pullman carriages.

The train begins its trip in Norwich before stopping in the Suffolk town to pick up more passengers on its twice-yearly luxury journeys.

It previously passed through the county in December as part of a special Christmas event.

It includes a welcome bottle of Laurent-Perrier Champagne per couple and traditional afternoon tea, including sandwiches, cakes, pastries, scones and petits fours.

There will also be onboard entertainment, including magicians and musicians, and a glass of sherry or port provided. 

It will set you back a steep £295pp, so is often a popular choice for people celebrating special occasions such as a big birthday or wedding anniversary.

Other trips this year include a day trip to York on September 9 and the Christmas Lunch train on December 9.
