A Facebook post circulating among local groups has urged people to gather at the entrance of the Norfolk Showground an hour before Mr Farage's event kicks off at 7pm on Tuesday.

The post, which has gathered thousands of reactions online, has encouraged people to come along so they can "tell Reform to do one".

The event will mark a return to East Anglia for Mr Farage following a controversial visit south of the border last week. 

His trip to Ipswich last Monday sparked controversy after a Reform campaign video from Portman Road was posted online.

It is understood that during his visit he dined privately with Ipswich Town chairman Mark Ashton and chief operating officer Luke Werhun, was taken on a tour of the ground, and was gifted six personalised "Farage 10" shirts by the club.

The club initially denied inviting him before it was later revealed by this newspaper that club representatives had been involved in setting up the visit.

The fall-out from the public relations disaster later saw Mr Ashton "unreservedly apologise".

Beyond the headline-making Portman Road trip, Mr Farage faced a more hostile welcome during other points of his Suffolk visit.

In Felixstowe last Monday he was forced to abandon a planned walkabout after protesters gathered.

And he was met by demonstrators again later that evening outside his event at Ipswich's Trinity Park, where around 100 people gathered to greet him.

He then faced hecklers again at the launch of Reform UK's London election campaign in Croydon on Saturday night.

It is not yet known how many protesters are planning to attend Tuesday's Showground rally, or who is behind the demonstration.

Mr Farage is set to be joined by Reform chairman Dr David Bull and other "special guests" at the ticketed event.

A Reform spokesman declined to comment on the planned protest.
