Where to go & what to do
in Norwich & the countryside

The Norwich area has a whole host of museums, theatres, cinemas, arts venues, churches and green spaces catering for families, couples and singles of all ages. Attractions, parks and shops offer half term and school holidays activities from book reading to puppet making whilst adults can enjoy recitals, art galleries and bandstand concerts to name but a few – and most of these things to do are FREE.

In the countryside discover the amazing unspoilt landscapes of the Norfolk Broads where you can sail, canoe, walk and cycle. Bird-watching and fishing are popular past times as the Broads are home to some of the rarest wildlife including the reclusive bittern. You can hire sailing boats, motor cruisers (by the hour or the day) you can even charter one of the few remaining Norfolk Wherry yachts, complete with crew.

If you prefer to amble along discovering quaint villages and market towns a very pleasurable experience awaits. Visit independent shops, antique auctions, farmers markets, breweries, churches, nature reserves, gardens and art galleries.
