Our first escape room and it couldn't have been more suited. Difficulty level was perfect with lots for our youngest (6) to find and join in with as well as everyone else. Managed to get the diamond but didnt quite escape in time. Thoroughly enjoyable and really brought the family together...smiles all round. Kids are stiĺ talking about it now. Amazing staff who were really helpful and kind, made us feel comfortable and relaxed.

Stand in the evocative workhouse settings, face to face with projections of staff and inmates and listen to first hand stories, often tragic, sometimes inspirational, from the people who once walked these whitewashed corridors. Visit Land Girl and Lumber Jills, old village shops, re-created cottage garden, orchard and traditional farm with rare breed livestock. Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse makes a superb setting for themed event days, family fun activities, school holiday fun and courses in traditional crafts.

Seating very comfortable for a local cinema. Plenty of Leg room. Sound and picture quality also very good. Having a local cinema saves the drive to Norwich. Only wish people would bring food that makes less noise. Had couple on end of our row went out half way thru for top up and the mess on floor etc when they left!
