The exhibition compromises of original uniforms and documents from both World War One and Two. Visitors also have the opportunity to listen to recordings of some Norfolk Land Girls recounting their war-time days. There are also some interactive activities aimed at children, again making the collection accessible to families.

There are a number of original documents , such as ‘The Landswoman’ and ‘The Land Girl’ magazines, postcards and letters.
