Inspired by the re-opening of Norwich Castle Keep and Henry I celebrating Christmas 1121 at Norwich Castle, The Christmas Crown Trail will be a free family-friendly festive treasure hunt across Norwich.
Launching on 20 November and running until 5 January, the Christmas Crown Trail will guide visitors across the city centre locating festive displays, searching out crowns and clues within creative shop window designs. On this fun and festive trail, you will be able to collect clues located in windows from 30 locations, solve a puzzle, and then enter our competition for the chance to win some incredible prizes donated by Norwich Castle.
Pick up a map (or check out the digital version here) and start searching for clues! And take a look at the festive lights at locations highlighted on the map! Think decorated trees, the Canopy of Light, light up presents and more! This is Christmas for the curious.
