Top Things to do in Norfolk
What to do and see in Norfolk, England: The Best Performances
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!

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.

4. St Nicholas' Chapel
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
From the tip of its 19th-century spire to its Norman foundations, everything about this town centre chapel is dazzling. Light floods from its magnificent windows into the interior. Monuments from the 17th- and 18th-centuries, some with startlingly life-like painted figures, celebrate King's Lynn's seamen, merchants, mayors and shopkeepers and illustrate the town's long history as a busy commercial centre and port. The chapel's carved woodwork is of such quality that some of it is now in the V&A Museum, but in the medieval stalls you can still see an astonishing collection of carved creatures. In the 15th-century wooden roof, carved angels with outstretched wings sing and play musical instruments. One holds a recorder -- the earliest ever portrayal of the instrument in church carving. Come and explore nine centuries of treasures in this extraordinary and beautiful chapel - the largest chapel of ease in England.

Just what a xmasPanto should be - silly jokes for all ages, slapstick, spot on comedy routines, great sets, lighting and dancers. the addition of Twist and Pulse as headliners was a genius move as they appeal to all ages. Very energetic performances and well thought out scripts veering away from the temptation to simply rehash old pantos. Theatre is easily accessible and is in a lovely historic building. Staff working there are pleasant and helpful. really handy for the town centre afterwards if you need a pre or post show drink or meal. Big Thumbs up to all involved. Booking for next year for sure.
