Took some friends and children,haven't bee for a few years as you have to have the children as an excuse. Jack Jay and Johnny were very funny, every act was excellent,the children loved the motorcyclists how brave are they there act was spectacular the whole show from beginning to end was greeted with cheers.The show was packed so we did have limited seats but we sat up the top and had an excellent view.A little bit pricey at £15 for children and £23 for an adult we got ours from the tourist information office i think they maybe slightly cheaper.We went to the afternoon performance and as it was raining kept the children amused for a couple of hours.

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.

We were advised to go to Horsey Gap to see the seals. So we did. We dined from the burger van in the car park (very good) then went to see the seals. There were a lot of seals and a lot of people watching them! It was great to see them in their natural habitat and seemingly not too bothered by their audience!

In Happisburgh (pronounced Hazebrough) is the Happisburgh Owl Sanctuary (run by a lovely lady called Sandra, and her friend Darwin), if you like owls it’s an absolute must, a little pricey at £50.00 for the first two people in your group and £30.00 thereafter (our kids are grown up so we do not know the family price if there is one), but it is EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD good value for the money as Sandra is not a clock watcher (our 3hr visit went for 5hrs) and refreshments are included. Sandra only does ONE presentation a day, and it is by appointment and it is for one family or, one or possibly two couples (like our presentation) ONLY. Booking is essential as Sandra DOES NOT do “walk in” visits. Sandra starts by giving a short presentation with slides that explains how she got into caring for owls, and then introduces the ten birds she has brought in for you to handle, during which light refreshments (hot/cold drinks, cakes/quiche/sausage rolls/etc.) are served, and are available throughout you visit. After the presentation, Sandra and Darwin move onto the introduction to, and handling of, the birds themselves, ranging from the European Eagle Owl (BIG!) down to the Little Owl (miniscule compared to the Eagle Owl), after being introduced to each owl and holding them, things progress to feeding. Sandra gives a quick demonstration by feeding one of her owls with a dead mouse (slow motion video is a BIG plus from this point on), then moves on to having owls fly from a perch to your hand to accept food from you (small bits of meat). After which a trip outside for photos with a nice backdrop (her garden), and to see the remaining owls Sandra could not bring into the house. Sandra has some fascinating birds, and some very unusual ones like a Black Barn Owl (Sooty is gorgeous and quite the character), you get the privilege to handle these beautiful Birds of Prey, and have a fabulous day out.

An excellent Day Out! The team from MXTryOut are superb - they "staged" the training so the new riders weren't even aware of their continuous progress throughout the day graduating after one day of experience being able to ride MX! Keep up the good work!

I came across this on a brief visit to Lowestoft. My regret is that I did not have more time as it is a really interesting museum. It is quite an eye opener to see and appreciate the living conditions on board a traditional trawler. The volunteers are ethusiastic and informative and though it is free a donation is welcomed to maintain this fascinating attraction.
