Children's entertainment in Norwich

“A beautiful place on the broads. House open during term time to educational parties, but good woodland and water garden walks. Walks through the marshes and nice walks by the River Ant. A very large public field, good for gatherings and picnics. A very peaceful and beautiful place.”

“Totally brilliant escape room. Extremely well designed. It kept us (2 bright adults) busy for a full hour, using all sorts of logic and different skills. Highly recommended. Lovely people too!”

“Used to come here as a boy 40 odd years ago to get my Traveller and Runequest stuff. So good that it's still here . Looks like it hasn't changed a bit. Will call in when I'm back in Norfolk again”

“Great place to take the little ones. You'll need a full day to take it all in but you won't regret it! Tons to see & do plus the kids get the chance to learn more about wildlife and conservation.”

“A great venue for large family gatherings in a working farm with extensive leisure and entertainment facilities”

“Excellent NT property. Plenty of free parking for members. Beautiful gardens and woodlands to walk around. A very interesting house to explore. Two great cafe with indoor and outdoor dining areas. A nice book shop NT shop and also plants. The walled garden is worth a visit along with a walk around the lake on a nice day.”

“The fantastic customer service experienced at at the recent fireworks event on 2nd November was really refreshing, all staff were great but one lady in particular was so helpful and accommodating and ensured I didn’t have two disappointed little ones. Great venue, great food (fab to see ‘The Feed’ there). Fireworks were awesome as was the DJ. Great effort all round, we will definitely be back!”

“We went to the comedy event and it was a brilliant evening. Great theatre. Overall highly recommended.”

“Continuously improving facilities for all the up and coming football youngsters in Norfolk. Good quality 3G and grass pitches. Residential accommodation for visiting teams (many international). Seating at the 'stadium pitch' only. Centrally located with good road links (& air links - it's next to the airport!). All the new facilities and buildings have been completed, and an on-site shop has opened early 2025. There is ample car parking now and with redesigned, safer entrance, onto the A140. There is a good café for the parents and children alike, though some items may be considered a little overpriced.”

“MSV operate the best circuits in the UK well maintained facilities, grounds beautifully kept and well maintained tracks including track surface and kerbing. Good light systems for racing and good looking safety cars”

“Brilliant venue with a worm welcome from happy employees 5*****”

“We took our daughter to her first Panto, Rapunzel. We all had a lovely time on our first visit to The Garage. Great building and facilities and a nice coffee shop too with a place to play for the kids. We'll be back!”

“What a wondrous place! When we walked out it felt we had been there for a few minutes but well over an hour had passed. You will see all sorts of cultural exhibits, all labelled with very informative descriptions. Another great thing about this is that it's a museum that is also a shop! Some of the items on display are up for grabs, in a very non-pushy way, so if you're planning on leaving with a bit of South Asia with you, there are options for all pocket sizes. Strongly recommend! Worth mentioning: parking on site (Norwich isn't great for this) very friendly and knowledgeable staff packed with interesting items without seeming cluttered free entry”

“A wonderful activity centre and a fabulous experience for the younger generation awaits. The activity staff are quietly professional, friendly and engaging for the younger audience, and help to create fun memorable experiences. The main building is modern and clean with excellent resources. Large well designed areas for either meal or seated activities and a large high ceiling function or activity room with a large wall screen. The kitchen and catering facilities are first class. Highly recommended for single day or stay over events.”

“Wow! What a venue!!! We had our wedding here and I couldn't recommend it more. From start to finish, all the staff exceeded any expectations and couldn't do enough for you. It's a stunning venue, lots of room for dancing and a beautiful outdoor space with veranda which is perfect for photos. They helped us every step of the way and went out of their way to make sure it was just perfect. They let us drop decor off the day before and even set it all up perfectly so we could relax in the morning. Food was amazing, generous portions and the rooms are lovely. All our guests commented on how amazing the venue is and moreover the staff - they are such a credit to the place! Couldn't recommend more Thank you Beckiee and team - you are all superstars !!!!”

“Amazing! This place is so cool and the staff are lovely! The old penny arcades are so much fun to explore and the perfect mix of old and new. The gift shop is reasonably priced and I would highly recommend this place. It’s top of my list when I return”

“Decent sized hall with an enclosed park area to the back and a field for football etc.”

“I love everything about hickling barn and love that they improve on the play area and keep it well maintained nice bit of shade in the morning so it's not too hot and well just love going there because its quite. The facilities and parking are excellent, I would really love to have my reception hear, think it's a wonderful location for a wedding.”

“A fabulous exhibition from Norwich 20 art group of life drawing from the Wensum Lodge classes.. Superb range of drawings, the artists and models were present and can enjoy a nice glass of wine when browsing the exhibition. Well done to all concerned.”

“Fantastic venue for our Quiz and Chips evening. Kitchen/bar area was perfect for our requirements! Morley Youth FC”

“Just a really great centre with lots to do there”

“This establishment is a former bank and a new Community Group have turned it into an arts venue keeping all the beautiful wood panels etc that were originally in the building! I have been here to see a stage performance where the cafe is transformed into a Theatre - Magic! I've been here to a knit and natter group but this time I came in for tea and cake with my husband! There was a lady enjoying a late lunch whilst sketching, there were another couple having lunch and another couple came in as we were leaving! There is a special board which has some tempting meals on it. A very special unique place in the centre of a dear little town!”

“What a fantastic place. I was concerned by the ticket price but it was worth every penny. We got there for opening and it was busy but we went on everything and only had to queue for the boat ride and the bigger zip wire but everything else was easily accessible. The staff were all friendly and helpful and we had a fantastic day. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a fun packed day out.”

“Really enjoyed our first stay on the camp grounds. Luckily our first night was lovely and quiet. The chemical toilets were lovely and clean and the drinking tap was easy to find. The ground was secure with gates and padlocks. Must check out the Hungry Otter for delicious coffee and cakes. Salhouse broad is small but special.”

“Great place to hold functions. Well equipped kitchen for food preparation Lovely views out over the countryside. Kidds play area next door”

“We had our wedding here! Such a lovely charming place, and James and the event staff were very accommodating to us for our big day. I would highly recommend it as a wedding venue. The buffet was really good and well received (with a lot of extra food for guests to take home!).”

“Saw Hammer to Fall there last Saturday, my Fiancé son is the lead guitarist, they have played in many venues, but this venue was really lovely ,really nice staff, and great sound , really would come here again to see other groups”

“The swimming paradise is breathtaking. It is truly stunning. However, with all the money that Center Parcs make, they should add more to it so that the queues in it for the rides get smaller. Overall, it is a very good swimming experience.”

“A brilliant price with some brilliant actors who put their al linto their performance - a charity that is making they're accessible to the people of Yarmouth.”

“The best prizes in the area. Probably in the whole country. You can actually win them, too! They’re not just for show like some places seem to be, the claw machines pick up and with a little dedication even the games consoles and electronics can be won.”
