Fabulous exhibits which are well spaced out. The volunteers are very informative and keen to pass on their knowledge. Give yourself plenty of time for your visit as there is so much to see! The Tea Shop fits its surroundings perfectly. Its a hidden gem.

This was a truly informative, fascinating, enjoyable and excellent morning to celebrate my wife's birthday. Lee, the owner, is both inspired and inspiring. The tour was amazingly good value for money and including tasting five wines (generous tastes!) with nibbles included. However, access by taxi or having a driver willing to forego the tasting is essential if you wish to enjoy the wine to the full!

We decided to book this game at short notice, after our holiday in Norfolk started out decidedly wet and we needed something indoors to enjoy. Despite some first time nerves, this ended up being a ln absolutely superb escape game and out game master Holly was fab; friendly knowledgeable and helpful when we needed it! We escaped with 1min 12 secs to spare and found it very tricky (2 players). We definitely want to come back to enjoy a tour run by this company and to do the Blickling escape room too. Highly recommended!

My child's 10th party for 6 girls was great fun this week. The instructor was fun, girls loved the activities and to keep costs down we took their own packed lunches and ate them in the cafe area with birthday cake. Parents had lovely coffees and snacks from the cafe and enjoyed being able to watch the girls climb. Thanks to all the helpful friendly staff.

Really enjoyable experience as always. No bowling due to covid restrictions, so just drinks and food with friends outside. Friendly and attentive service, good prices including great-tasting 241 cocktails anytime on different cocktails and a variety of them, great tasting food and well-chosen music. They even moved us to another table when our time ended and never pushed us to leave. Will be going again soon to use my new membership and to bowl too!
