9 Paint & Pottery Studios in Norfolk That You Shouldn't Miss
A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

Mabel’s is one of the gems of Burnham Market and Jane is always so friendly to everyone. The coffee is good too. Thoroughly recommend plate painting, but don’t just leave the kids to it - it’s great art therapy for all the family. We’ll be back ????

8. Laetitia Webb
I moved to Norfolk aged 7, as a family we spent our time on the beautiful sandy beaches, walking on the marshes and through the woods and foraging for sloes to make Sloe Gin (for the parents... and now for me!), foliage to make flower arrangements and elderflower to make presse. In my 40's and sick of the rat race I have returned to my roots and am living the county life to the full! I have also found a new passion for Open Water Swimming - My mantra? you get one life, live it your way.
9. Fior Candles
Since 2016 I have enjoyed experimenting and creating luxury candles, from home, for my friends and family. The name for my handmade candle brand was inspired by my two gorgeous children, Isla and Rupert. I took each of their initials, jumbled them up and ended up with 'Fior' which also has the meaning of 'fire' in other languages so it seemed to fit very well! All my candles are 100% handcrafted in my, home-based, Norfolk workshop and I only use the highest quality materials and fragrances.
