Fun things to do in Norwich: 50 fun attractions and activities

The whole experience is visitor friendly from young to old. Much appreciated the lifts to all floors including the battlements for the amazing views. The museum full of artefacts, clearly labelled again interactive for children to enjoy.

Newly reopened Norwich castle 2025. Well worth the visit, it's a combination of walking around a historical castle, museum exhibits and artefacts, fine art, natural history and a WW2 exhibit. There are screenplays/shows in the great hall which briefly go over the history of the castle, and there are good views out the windows and across the battlements. All items in exhibits are labelled and described, and there are display boards around the actual castle interior explaining parts of daily medieval life or the significance of certain design/areas of the castle. There are historical arms and armour on display if after pieces for artistic reference. The well is very very deep.

It was great to see the castle after the recent renovations. It's a fine building with some great exhibits and interactive elements for children. The views from the battlements are great, especially on a clear day. It's a bit pricey and there's no senior citizen discounts, otherwise it would be five stars

What an amazing place right on our doorstep. I've lived in Norwich 10 years and never been to the castle and what a gem of a place this is. I can't say how much it's improved since it's renovation, but wow there's so much to see! From the basement to the battlement they have honestly outdone themselves. We didn't get a chance to see it all sadly as we had two toddlers, but what we did see was amazing and definitely worth the price of admission.

I brought my 1 year old daughter here today. We had a lovely couple of hours exploring and taking some lovely photos. My only criticism is that we couldn't get around the whole castle as the lifts were out of order. My daughter was on her trike, and I wasn't prepared to carry her up and down stairs. We explored the museum and what we could of the castle. Plenty of activities for children. Very friendly and informative staff :)

A very popular venue for a wedding ceremony and it's easy to see why! Norwich Castle, recently referbished is a gorgeous wedding ceremony venue. Slap bang in the centre of the city, it gives stunning views of the city, and the room is beatiful. Have a peek at the images to see what your wedding ceremony could look like!

It's more of a gallery than a castle! Like it looks like a castle, but inside, the ground floor feels like just a gallery bit very related to the castle. And then when you do go up, there isn't that much to see really. Yes, the keep, which is like and and a half room, and the big one is good, fair play, but still. Also the roof view is amazing, nothing to complain about that, actually. Really enjoyed it there.

A thoroughly pleasant and enjoyable tour around the Cathedral. I made a detour in my day to just go in but I'm glad I did. Lovely stained glass windows and a wonderful ambience sprinkled with a tonne of history. If I had had the time I would have stayed longer but c'est la vie. The Cathedral has been there for 900 years it's going to be there in another one. I would wholly recommend if you have longer than the half hour I did. Free entry but donations are accepted and there is a gift shop. The lady at the reception was very pleasant and friendly.

We visited late on a Tuesday afternoon and found the cathedral quiet and almost empty. Most visitors had departed, but the clergy and some laypersons were busying themselves to welcome parishioners for the 5:30 p.m. Evensong. By arriving late we missed the Cathedral’s free tours (the website shows the last one begins at 3:00 p.m.), so we picked up a welcome booklet instead and did our best to follow the suggested visit order. The nave is magnificent, and we marvelled at how well its strong Norman design had been integrated into the lovely fan vaulted ceiling. Two massive spiral-ribbed columns stand out. Because of the service preparations we were only able to peer into the lovely wooden choir, but we found our exploration of the impressive Presbytery and its four adjacent chapels to be fascinating. Given the time we could only do a cursory exploration of the ceiling’s treasure trove of carved medieval ceiling bosses, but we certainly plan to return to explore them more fully. Practical info: Norwich Cathedral has no entry fee, but a donation is much appreciated. An excellent list of tours, events, dates, and timings is available on the Cathedral’s website. Should one be visiting by car, note there is no parking in the Cathedral Close, but the website provides a recommendation of nearby pay parking options.

This cathedral deservedly made Norwich a proper Christian city when Normans began construction in 1096. It boasts the 2nd largest extant spire of a British cathedral (this iteration standing since 1485). The cathedral doesn’t have a peal (unlike the storied nearby St Peter of Mancroft) for which only 4 stars are given. The church has received a modern hostry and refectory in the 2000s, where modern toilets can be found as well as a three-quarters decent contracted vendor for the café, the Bread Source. The wood and glass structure makes for a pleasant space and a good entrance, where entry is subject to a voluntary donation. The close is also lovely and home to several businesses, a college, and private residences.

Beautiful place and really helpful staff! Staff arent pushy for donations which is great as many places are pushy. Free tours makes visiting very affordable. Would definitely reccommend for half a day/a full day out. We went at 11am on a Wednesday during the October half term and it wasn't busy at all. They had activities like colouring avaliable for children.

I've lived near Norwich all of my 41 years and never visited the cathedral until today and my god ( excuse the pun ) was it impressive.. how on earth did they build this cathedral in that fine detail all those years ago 😳.. our minds were absolutely blown how beautiful this place and grounds are.. very factual and stunningly kept. It's a true national treasure

Norwich Cathedral is a truly stunning landmark and a must-visit in the city. The architecture is breathtaking, with its soaring spire, beautiful cloisters, and intricate stonework that reflect centuries of history. The interior is equally impressive, offering a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection. The staff and volunteers are welcoming and knowledgeable, happy to share the cathedral’s rich history. Whether you’re interested in architecture, history, or simply seeking a serene place to visit, Norwich Cathedral is an unforgettable experience.

Absolutely gorgeous. When you step in the court yard you know Harry Potter has been here. Great location. The cathedral itself is stunning and you can spend hours there really.

Norwich Market is a vibrant and lively destination, full of local charm and energy. The bustling atmosphere, with its diverse range of street food and market stalls, offers an authentic taste of the city’s culture. From freshly prepared local delicacies to international flavors, there’s something for everyone. A must-visit spot for food lovers and those looking to experience the true spirit of Norwich!

Beautiful town. Very nice and clean. Lovely architecture. Many attractive shops. The market has delicious street food.

Lovely market not every single shop is open but can get quick busy during lunch time, very reasonable pricing most of the shops, £4 can get you a massive sausage and egg roll in the morning and 70p for a cup of tea, we also tried some bubble tea and drinks here, quite nice as well, must go have a visit if you travelling to Norwich.

Lots of stalls, selling all from fresh Cromer Crabs, to working mens jeans lol, could happily spend a few hours looking around, and very central to other local shops, banks and sights of the city.

Norwich Market is a wonderful place to explore! It’s full of energy, colour, and friendly local vendors. You can find a bit of everything here from tasty street food and fresh produce to handmade crafts and unique gifts. The food stalls are especially impressive, offering dishes from around the world at great prices. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy local culture, grab a bite, and take in the lively atmosphere. A must-visit when in Norwich!

Well laid out on a tight grid to make the most of the space in this central square. It's well worth spending time meandering through the small stalls. Many of the stallholders are warm and friendly without pressuring you into parting with your cash.

Markets sell all sorts of stuff, food , clothes crafts, fruits and vegetables. It’s like a mini version of Camden Market. Street food from around the globe, you won’t be disappointed.

We went as a part of a volunteer group which i am part of , to see the new exhibition they have got on it's called can we survive the sea . Really good exhibition of the potential sea rises and the impact on local communities that live on island's on this planet and how they cope with tsunami's which are set off by earthquake's. But also coastal erosion that the Norfolk coastline suffers each year . All free but Donations are extremely grateful.

Every visit to SCVA is inspiring and stunning. Really enjoyed the current temp exhibitions looking at climate action and conservation of the oceans, such moving and beautiful work. Can't wait to come back soon

Great all-round experience. Wide variety of exhibits. Juxtaposition of pieces was stimulating and an engaging feature was where soundscapes were paired with some of the items. This led to those sculptures being experienced in a fuller way. Staff were attentive and there was an opportunity to be guided around. Setting of the Centre is picturesque. Well worth a visit.

So much better than I thought it would be. A wonderful wide range of art and artifacts. The interactive displays were a nice touch. The current temporary exhibition was brilliant. Tickets by donation and we had a lovely coffee and cake in the cafe. It was nice wondering around the outside sculptures. No wait to enter and not too busy for a weekend day. My only trouble was parking. There were no spaces left and we had to park in a different car park at a different building, the ticket machine was also broke. Other than that, great day out.

The Sainsbury Centre has very good temporary exhibitions (including a really good ocean one on at the moment) and the permanent collection contains some fantastic and engaging pieces. We were happy to donate a good amount for the upkeep of an important place.

A lovely ground floor exhibition space involving a wide array of historical artefacts from all over the world, mixed with some amazing modern art, including some ten Francis Bacon paintings, Giacometti and Picasso. The upper and lower floors were less impressive, in my opinion, but that's just a matter of taste, I guess.

What a fantastic space We had an amazing few hours enjoying the art and lunch. Fresh salads, great tasting coffee and very affordable.

Really fun night out for groups of friends and colleagues. We drank, ate, bowled and sung. Karaoke has a huge collection of songs. I was worried they wouldn't have any of my genre but was pleasantly surprised. Food was decent and in abundance. Glad to see they're doing well as they deserve it.

having a party upstairs and I have booked bowling around 8 for 9:20 had no problems at the desk even though I am 13 booking it at 9:20 but lady goes through with it anyway I have just been pulled aside by the same lady saying we have had to cancel your booking because no kids are allowed down past 9:00 really poor customer service no sign up either but other than that horrible experience I’m having an alright time and the drinks seem well priced

We hired the upstairs karaoke room as a student society from the UEA and we had a fantastic night: the venue was the perfect size for the large group of us, the karaoke system was properly designed and included a wide range of songs- unlike what some other venues offer in Norwich, the student discounts that they offered were enjoyed by our members, and the bar kept our society hydrated and excited! Moreover, the staff on duty that night, Freya and Arthur, were incredible at their jobs and friendly too! Thank you The Bowling House! We had a great night🤘

I had my 40th birthday party there and I can't thank the staff enough. They were all so helpful even in the insane heat we had that day! Also the bar manager was so kind and helpful helping me pick cocktails out for my party and making a special Hello Kitty cocktail for me. I can't rate this place enough. Great venue, amazing staff and delicious food and drink! Thank you for making my 40th so special, and I'm glad you liked the cat ears 😹

Bowling House undoubtedly deserves a 5-star review. The staff, whose names I regrettably didn't ask for, were exceptional hosts throughout our visit. The Bowling House staff which we’ll call the “awesome duo” went above and beyond, mastering a trifecta of entertainment. From the enjoyable and laid-back bowling experience to the inviting atmosphere and brace yourself for this—the absolutely sensational food! My initial expectation was smaller portions so I stupidly ordered extra, but lo and behold, the generous platefuls left us asking for takeaway boxes 😂 The nachos were beyond description—simply cracking “chef's kiss” The burgers were expertly crafted and tasted far better than I’ve had for a while a real treat for this chonky boi’s taste buds (I know my burgers😄) Every part of our experience was impeccably handled, making our night an incredibly enjoyable one. You guys smashed it so heres an extra five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ and a fancy extra sixth one 🌟 for the chap that knows how to make ahold cocktail!

A fun experience and great food! I feel two things could help improve the experience further. 1. Bowling screens... if the current bowler's name and score could be made larger, those with sight impairment could see their name from the seating area. 2. The slope leading to the lanes (passing the bar) needs a touch more light.

I should say the food here is not too bad considering there is only one person in the Kitchen! I think he did great!!! It was fun to be with everyone for bowling too!

Nice and clean. Without half an hour waiting near ladies room. Drinks served quickly and a little fresh air you can get on a balcony over break time too.

Brilliant customer service! First time being away from my baby and the Grandparents (there to babysit) asked about the timings for the interval so they could make sure to be back so I could breastfeed him. They gave us our own room to go to and made sure the air conditioning was on because it was a really hot day. So grateful for the wonderful staff for being so accommodating. Fantastic show, so glad to have made it!

Wow, what can I say. I have been to many many stages shows, but this was one of the best productions I have ever seen. Chicago is incredible, amazing, and just awesome. Jeanette Manrara and Djalenga Scott were super stars, fantastic. Sinitta, beautiful, perfect. Darren Day unforgettable. The dancers were just incredibly. As for the band / orchestra, I could listen to them every single night, they were also incredibly. The whole production was just the best. Thank you to Norwich for such a marvellous show. Who needs to go to London!!!

Attended a backstage tour for Book of Mormon this morning and it was truly unforgettable! We were guided round by James who was warm, engaging, hilarious and shared so many interesting facts and funny stories. Being allowed to walk out onto the stage was an incredible experience. Thank you for offering this, I'd recommend it to anyone who loves the theatre! :D

I'm 6'3 but was able to sit comfortably with plenty of legroom in the seat. The show we attended was fantastic with plenty of real rain as one of the special effects! Update. Just seen Les Mis. Wow!

Me and my daughter came to Norwich theatre to watch Hamilton on the 24th sept. I suffer from adhd and really bad anxiety. It all of a sudden got busy and I was a mess! Jen went above and beyond to calm me down. Took me and my daughter to our seats and checked on us multiple times! I was embarrassed and upset that my daughter had to see me like that but Jen was just incredible and made the experience even more amazing

Traveled here from Essex to see Hamilton what a great theatre. Great view and great show Staff helpful

Beautiful hidden gem in central Norwich! Stunning garden with plenty of colourful flowers. The fountain is the cherry on top, lovely sitting down and hearing the water fall. Plenty of seats around and you can happily sit on the grass. £2 entry by honesty box or contactless. We parked in the hotel car park next door (just use RingGo app). Will 100% head back again.

A calm and beautiful garden just outside the city centre. Lovely gardens with a short loop that you can walk. Chairs for seating or lovely spots on the grass to read a book or listen to the trees.

Beautiful, donation-based garden. Great to lay out on the grass and enjoy a small snack. A hidden little gem! Great for the family!

A lovely place to walk and enjoy. £2 entry pp. Lots of seating. Beautiful and kept really nice.

I remembered this garden as an oasis of calm where I could clear my mind or prepare on previous work-related trips to Norwich. The Plantation Garden retains all of my expected meditative qualities. A request for providing a £2 donation on entry is incredible value for money.

absolutely gorgeous place! super relaxing nice place for a picnic me and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed our time here!!

Norwich's hidden treasure - the Plantation Garden left me speechless! So tranquil and beautifully maintained, it feels like stepping into another world. Every corner reveals something new - charming pathways, lovely flowers, and fascinating historical elements. The perfect escape from city noise where you can truly connect with nature. Take your time to appreciate the small details and craftsmanship throughout the garden. A magical spot that locals and visitors alike shouldn't miss. Worth every minute spent wandering through this enchanting green haven!

I visited the Museum of Norwich in the last hour before closing and had no wait to get in. Tickets were reduced to just £2.50, which was a great deal! The museum itself was really interesting, with lots of interactive features that made the history of Norwich engaging and easy to explore. From local industries to everyday life in the past, there was plenty to see and do. The only downside was the gift shop—while they had Norwich-themed fridge magnets, there wasn’t anything specifically about the museum itself, which was a bit disappointing. Still, for the price and experience, I’d definitely recommend a visit!

Its a wonderfully packed little museum with loads of items which you can get up close with. I was highly impressed with the man at reception named Tamwin, he was warm and friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Norfolk history. Pleasantly surprised indeed!

An informative and interactive museum offering glimpse into the rich history of Norwich. Two levels of this museum are equipped with rooms that has its own thematic presentation. Visitors are taken from the Anglo-Saxon past, medieval period, until the post-industrialisation era, in each room. I personally enjoyed my visit to this museum.

This was a superb museum to visit, with artefacts looking back on Norwich's history as the second city of the UK in medieval times! Trade of items like coffee and tea is focused on, these old relics are shown as they would have been shipped. Coffee house section even allows to do fancy dress and a metal sheep depiction is taken in from an ancient pub, manufacturing machinery is brought in and a room is used for insight into how this was undertaken! I really enjoyed the market section with the items that would have been sold on the streets years ago and the classic store goods in their old form, carts are a superb addition. An old bar is incorporated and a mini train runs across the top, displays include a motorbike and pram as well. One area explores the household lives of people after World War 2 and exhibits the games that became popular, TV and childhood entertainment are both delved into too!

I visited this lovely museum on Saturday afternoon. The exhibition was well curated so that it was informative for someone like me who didn’t know anything about Norwich, but also for locals and families. Staff was also very kind and helpful. Warm recommendation!

Lovely experience at the museum. Wheelchair friendly. Amazing exhibits with plenty to explore when you return . This is the third time in 7 years. Friendly welcoming and enthusiastic staff who were diligent to their patrons. When stumped over finding the reused ping-pong ball in the spitfire cottage no less than three staff looked and sought out the answer! Crockery. Amazing place. I will be back.

Bridewell Museum is one of my favourite places ever. I’ve been more times than I can count over the years and each time I spot something I hadn’t seen before. It’s a great day out in Norwich and fun for any age.

Visited the park on Easter Sunday. Very big park with loads of open space. Lovely cafe and only 5min from the university grounds where we walked around the beautiful lake. I give 4 stars as I feel there weren't many flowers. They may well be in the process of updating the flower beds though...

A lovely open area. I was lucky with the weather, didn't try the food but I thought it was well priced. Fantastic place for dogs and children plenty of space and outdoor activities. Will be returning with my dog

A fantastic park just outside Norwich well worth a visit - we did the parkrun at 9 am on the Saturday morning - a lovely 5k run 3 laps of the park nice and flat and a very friendly bunch of - really nice cafe after too 🏃‍♀️🏃🏻☕️🍰😊😊

It was great here! There is plenty of space for my dog to run around. These photos were taken on a dsi.

Lived 20 miles away all my life...60+ years, had never been here before until yesterday! What a great place, will definitely go again, perhaps on a Sunday when the little railway is going. Excellent for the disabled with buggies, wheelchairs etc., however, couldn't find a disabled toilet? Think the lovely old bandstand building could do with some TLC, not sure who is responsible for this? Although I understand an undertaking of that would be very costly, but, its such a beautiful structure.

Excellent place for kids the miniature train is closed but it has miniature golf and play area for kids to spend time and ample parking

Visited today, what a beautiful park to visit on a sunny day. Parking £2 for four hours. So much to do. Boating lake, pond full of lilies, tennis, croquet, cafe, beautiful band stand, miniature railway and lovely walk through the gardens and grounds. A skate park / half pipe and children’s play area. Lots of shady places to seat if you are not a sunbather. Definitely worth a visit.

As a resident of Norfolk I am ashamed of myself for not visiting Strangers Hall sooner! I took part in an art workshop here this month. It is a fantastically interesting and beautiful building, steeped in history. The museum staff are so incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. A wonderful establishment.

This is a fascinating building. We only saw a part of it because we wandered in when we saw it as we were passing by while on a weekend trip to Norwich and it turned out to be a day that it wasn't open to the public. The staff there were getting their things together to go home, nevertheless we were invited to come in and look around the main hall while they were locking up and had a bit of the history explained to us. We would certainly have come back for the full tour another day, but were going home the next morning. Based on what we saw I would certainly recommend this place, but suggest checking the opening hours first to make sure it is one of their public days.

Very interesting place to visit. Lots of great historical exhibits. Lovely staff who were very helpful.

Fascinating place- so nice that Mr. Bolingbroke preserved and then donated it in 1923. It has very limited hours, though, so plan around that. I didn't purchase the guidebook they sell and found there was plenty of information without it- signage, laminated sheets, notebooks, wooden paddles as well as staff. The video in one of the rooms is also informative and well worth watching. If the weather is fine, the garden is very nice, too.

Really interesting place. We arrived an hour before closing and the ticket price was only £2, but it's definitely worth the normal price. The staff were very friendly and clearly keen to help. I liked that the experience was a mix of reading about the history and just absorbing the feeling of being in the house. The garden is also very nice and affords a lovely view back on the Stranger's Hall.

The is one amazing museum. You can see the different architecture and building styles as you walk through. The furnishings and art work in every room really show you how they lived back then. You can spend hours wandering the hallways and different rooms. Keep in mind there are quite a few stairs and uneven surfaces. So if you have someone with mobility issues they may just have to sit in the peacefulness of the back garden.

The Strangers Hall is fascinating and very well presented. So many rooms decorated in keeping with its age. I spoke to the guides scattered throughout the building and they showed secrets and hidden gems that you wouldn't notice by just walking through. Well worth a visit. Best so far on my UK trip from Australia.

It's intriguing to witness the remarkable transformation of the Mall since it opened in 1993. Many of the stores that now stand out were once unwelcome in what was previously called Castle Mall, which was quite a trendy spot back in its heyday. If I recall correctly, during its construction, it was the largest ongoing project in Europe at that time. Retailers that could be classified as discount stores were not considered suitable for the mall's upscale image, as it aimed to attract a more affluent clientele. The shift has been remarkable, especially following the opening of Chapplefield Mall (Chantry Place) which drew in major high street fashion retailers, many from the Castle Mall, and changed the landscape entirely. It's interesting to recall that back in the mid 90s, I learned from a fortunate retail owner that even TK Maxx struggled to establish a presence in the Mall due to the said restrictions! Ironically, after the mass exodus to the Chapplefield Mall, significant construction took place, which included dramatically reducing the size of car park 2 to make room for TK Maxx! Despite these changes, I remain a regular visitor to the mall, particularly during the winter months when the cold makes the high street less appealing. The Mall has become a comfortable shopping destination for me, showcasing how it has adapted over the years while still catering to its visitors. If the occupancy rate had been higher, I would have given a 5-star rating.

Great shopping centre nice and clean. Plenty of different shops to choose from. There is a lift for all levels and in most shops to get around for wheelchairs or prams. Not tons of food choice in the food court but there are plenty of other places to eat nearby or a short walk to the food stalls.

Love the potato food stall and the drinks up stairs is brilliant. It's let down by the security walked on to the top level got to a table and wife didn't even touch her seat and some boy on security jumped on me and my family asking if we eatting up here. You made my wife and children feel uncomfortable yet we sat here and people are sitting and eating food from outside the centre and your guy was stood chatting to the potato guy while looking out and did nothing

Over the years the number of shops have dropped massively offering less and less for shoppers. Toilets continue to be badly kept after and cleaning seems to be absent - just pay attention to the smell and to floor corners that have never seen a mop.

90% gone but refuses to die. Car park is the best thing there. Still use Boots opticians but not much else wolrth visiting. With so much of it underground not sure how they will convert it imto student accomodation

MATE THIS PLACE IS DEAD. CHANTRY PLACE IS SO MUCH BETTER NOWARDAYS. MORE SHOPS, MORE BRANDS, BETTER PLACE, CLEANER, WAY MORE OPTIONS. HONESTLY CASTLE QUARTER FELL OFF HARD. ABSOLUTELY GAPPED BY CHANTRY PLACE

The fruit and veg stall now open at castle quarter, is the best thing to happen to this place!!! really amazing fruit and veg!! Honestly, so cheap as well!!! And the customer service is amazing, really lovely people working there. I hope to only get my fruit and veg from here onwards!

Lovely natural woodland area very close to my home. I enjoy walking my dog and meeting other dog walkers and photo enthusiasts taking pictures of wildlife. I like to go out early in the morning when it's nice and peaceful.

Our favourite park! Although we live in the countryside, we always visit Mousehold whenever we're in Norwich. It’s perfect for long walks with lots of alternative routes to explore. Even on busy days, you can find quiet spots where it never feels crowded. The only downside is that some people don’t pick up after their dogs, which can make parts of the walk a bit unpleasant. Otherwise, it’s a lovely place to spend time outdoors

I really enjoyed my time walking through Mousehold Heath. The same can't be said for the rodents I chose to carry in each hand. Their incessant squeaking was only a mild distraction as I strolled through the tranquil and scenic woodland. I'd recommend this place to everyone but take my advice and leave your small, furry cheese-loving pets at home - this heath is clearly not meant to be taken literally!!

Love to bring my family here. Decent side woods, very picturesque. Few fields for the kids to run around in, loads of steep slopes to climb, Really good familys, dog walkers, and mountain bikes. Even when it's busy you rarely bump into many people along the walks so always a pleasant trip. Car parking is fine. Big one near the entrance but several road side areas too. Usually ice cream van about too as a bonus.

Played a round of Pitch & Putt with the fam, lovely little course and good value, would recommend ⛳️🏌🏻‍♂️

Great dog walking spot in Norwich. Lovely up and down woodland, with hidden tracks, places to explore and some excellent canvases for those into their photography. Superb bit of escapism to be done here. I like to visit and let the dog run free at least once a week. Highly recommended!

Fantastic place to walk! Definitely take boots of sturdy footwear as it’s uneven terrain (depending how off the track you go) and can be muddy. It’s beautiful heathland with loads of surprises, ponds, wildlife, flora etc. it’s very easy to get a little lost as there are so many intriguing paths to follow and explore, but the good thing is if you do feel lost, head in one direction and you’ll find a roadway soon enough as it’s actually fairly centrally located within Norwich. Great for mindful walking, afternoon strolls or just relaxing in the open air. Car parking- there’s a small car park in front of Zak’s diner, or some more a little further down just off Gurney Road.

It was stunning as I saw two ducks swimming together and beautiful swans. Perfect for water and duck lovers. My first time going and beautiful if you could look past the duck poop.

Quaint 15th century gateway giving access to the river Wensum. The wide archway and round tower give it a distinctive appearance. There's good access to a riverside walk to Cow Tower and beyond. The gatehouse is in private ownership so not open to visitors.

Came for a walk, taking the sights along the river, a beautiful place, I came early, only joggers and dog walkers about.

Famous local beauty spot, best viewed from other side of the river. Often portrayed on local calendars.

The world is so beautiful. Such an eye pleasing place , so calm and full of life.. One must visit with friends and family, You can hire a boat for a ride. Near Norwich railway station . You will get a restaurant and ice cream parlour near this canal..

Lovely landmark building giving off vibes of a real sense of history.

Pull's Ferry witness 400 year's back waterways in Norwich. The board depicts the route of Wensum river amidst this city.

A unique experience, my daughter is 6 and didn't laugh as much the younger children. She still loved the magical bird and enjoyed it coming close to her. Puppets & set are handmade, and this reflects in ticket prices being a little high. You can see where the money goes and get an immersive, unique experience in return. Disabled entrance and seats. Cool shop x

We had our wedding here 12/11/2023. Everybody involved at the puppet theatre has been fantastic from the start, from arranging tables to lighting, bar staff and bar stocking, music playing, help with parking spaces…and so much more. Nothing was too big an ask and it truly made our day incredibly special. The building is fantastic, unique and well cared for. Thank you so so much, especially to Peter Beck on the day!

Historical venue with frequent events always held, the staff are extremely friendly, helpful and accommodating! Great range of both family and adult shows (The drag nights and puppet making workshops are my favourite :))

I enjoyed the evening, and was really impressed with the drag show. Lovely setting for a theatre, as used to be a church. Was rather loud though! A most entertaining evening.

Great story telling and even slipped in a few adult humour jokes. Brilliant puppetry skills. Very fun and entertaining. Kids will love it.

We were very happy to have visited this little theatre, we were made to feel very welcome and a part of the show. From the foyer staff to the puppeteers everyone made us feel welcome. The show, pinnochio, was mesmerising and how they managed to get so much expression in the puppets is beyond me, suffice to say if you're in Norwich, have kids (or not ) you should make a point of stopping here for an hour or so ( they also have light refreshments )

Nice little gem! My daughter and me really enjoyed the play and visit!

Fascinating place, you can tell the staff and volunteers take great pride in the building and the exhibits. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, lots of interesting historical information about aircraft through last century, lots of focus on the world wars. Can even get up close and personal with a variety of aircraft in the outside area.

Had a fabulous day out here. Lots to see, the exhibition rooms just keep on going and they have a fantastic selection of planes outside. We recommend booking onto a tour. it's a very small fee and we got to go into a Vulcan! And later we went into the Nimrod. Both guides were very friendly and knowledgeable. All staff were lovely in fact and theres a little cafe as well. Highly recommend a trip out here.

This museum is interesting and informative with a good selection of aircraft and a number of themed exhibit rooms to wander around. There are tours of some of the larger aircraft like the Nimrod and Vulcan, you can get right up close to all of the aircraft. We had a tour of the Nimrod, a first for me, the tour was really interesting covering the history of the aircraft and its various versions and modifications and a lot about is various missions. There is also a really nice comfortable wee cafe with a good selection of snacks and beverages. All of the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful, there is plenty of parking, the toilets are fresh and clean. A really good place to visit if you are in the area.

What a little gem. We stumbled across it while driving on the A47. Got there at 12 and we were the last ones to leave. On arrival we booked a Vulcan Bomber and Nimrod guided tour for myself, wife and daughter at a very reasonable £3.50 per adult and £2.50 for a child (per plane) the guides were very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. On site are picnic tables for packed lunches. Inside is a little cafe with pre-packed sandwiches and cakes along with hot and cold drinks (all reasonably priced). All in all if you are into aviation and war relics from the 1900s to 2000s this is the place to come. We cant wait to come back when we are in the area. Keep up the good work!

Our visit was completely by chance, having spotted some of the museum’s aircraft as we drove by. If you are a military or civil aviation enthusiast, history or heritage buff, model builder, engineer, photographer, relative of someone who served during WW2 in in Royal Air Force 100 Group or US 8th Air Force, or just someone who loves a museum jam-packed with interesting stuff, then this is definitely the place for you. Dedicated volunteers clearly work hard to make the museum a success, and will take the time to explain things to you, or lead you on a tour of aircraft and cockpits onsite. There is so much to read and so much to examine here, inside and outdoors. Admission fee is reasonable and parking is free. Check out the website for the guided aircraft tours on offer, and for upcoming events. Expect to spend at least a couple of hours onsite.

Fantastic informative friendly museum. Recommend the guided tours (if available) which were amazing! A great way to spend a few hours also has a cafe with indoor or outdoor seating.

We visited the City of Norwich Aviation Museum and while we did enjoy parts of our visit, there were a few disappointments. We were really looking forward to exploring the planes, but didn’t realise access was only available via guided tours — something that wasn’t clearly explained at the entrance. On the plus side, they had some great quizzes and activities for the kids which kept them engaged. However, the museum itself feels quite dated, and overall it wasn’t quite what we expected. It was interesting for a one-off visit, but unfortunately we won’t be returning.

Excellent small theatre with great bar. Good variety of shows ... music, Shakespeare, comedy and Indian Dance to name a few

Have been meaning to write this review for an could of weeks now! Just wanted to say what a lovely experience was had by all recently at the Norwich playhouse watching the amazingly funny Sir Mr Jack Skipper! The theatre is relatively small, but perfect for these smaller comedy gigs! Pre-show drinks were great, well priced, although I’ll never get over drinking a pint of lager out of a plastic cup! Haha. Great crowd, everyone smiling! Staff were great, everything well organised! Can’t wait to come again!

Really nice venue. Would happily go again! Stage felt so close even on rows further back!

We were visiting the area yesterday, as we were on holiday for a few days. Walking past the theatre i saw a young girl.. possibly student, being very rude to a Coach Driver who was dropping young children off at the theatre. Where I live, we appreciate Coaches bringing tourists and visitors into our towns and cities. Obviously Norwich (particularly the theatre) is ANTI Coaches. You should really teach your staff good manners and good customer service skills.

Went to see Annie, which was fantastic. Seat little low but still comfortable enough.. Drinks weren't expensive. Was extremely busy in the bar, so get there earlier if you want to get a drink.

A fantastic venue, pity about the prejudice. Not sure why the management team are so hostile to disabled people who use CBPM. All it takes is a bit of understanding and a conversation. A reasonable adjustment is exactly that. Hope you're able to be reasonable sometime soon. 💚🙏🏻🌱

The Playhouse is a fantastic venue in a quieter part of town. A great selection of drinks including no fewer than three gluten-free beers, although the only food available is a selection of candy bars. The decor is quite kitschy with retro toys on the shelves and a fascinating Norwich display on the ceiling. The staff are friendly and polite in both the bar and the ticket office. I mustn’t mention to forget the shows that are booked here! All of which a very high standard, both comedy and theatre.

An absolutely fun experience from start to finish. Easy to book with spaces at reasonable prices for an activity made even better with a discount they had on.. it sometimes serves to ring and speak to a person. The staff were very professional as they guide you through getting your equipment and how to safely take part in the activity. The travelator was so much as you ascended the hill and then the decent was sadly over too quickly. My kids aged 9 and 14 really loved it and got on with each other which is rare as they both focused on how they were going to go down the next hill. I loved it as an adult and parent from participating to taking footage from the bottom. There is a bar, but this is only open at certain times. I fully reccomend visiting.

Just had one lesson on my beginners course so far but can honestly say I’ve never gone from nervous to relaxed so quickly. Chris and Tom are teaching our lessons and they’re both fun, chilled out and really good at explaining things. The lessons aren’t too fast paced either which gives you a proper chance to get to grips with each step. Excited for next week! Ps the cafe is also really nice and cozy

We went as a family age from 14 - 58. We did the tubing. We had a fantastic time. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable. We only wished we had booked for longer as we didn't want to leave. But will know for next time.

Had 2 amazing teachers Toni and Morgan on the baby slope helping me out and helped get my confidence back!

Went with the grandchildren for and afternoon of fun tubing. The kids loved it. I watched them from one of the viewing areas. There were 3 members of staff supervising to ensure the groups safety. The bar was open and a wide range of hot and cold drinks were available. You can also watch the slopes from inside but you do get nearer the action outside. If there were any negatives then I would say this resort is looking tired and run down. But the kids really enjoyed themselves so would take them again. Quite expensive for an hr.

Everything was exceptionally well organised, which made the whole process smooth and enjoyable. The staff members were incredibly friendly and engaging throughout our time there. As our son was first-time skier, I appreciated that the lesson was well-led, and it was filled with fun activities. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would recommend it to anyone.

Came here couple of days ago to do the tubing for the first time. My boy was scared to get to the top of the slope, only got halfway before we got tears. But the staff were amazing and so brilliant with him, we got there eventually and after going down twice with me, he wanted to do it all by himself and loved it! All staff very friendly and helpful, lovely lady on the reception too. Definitely recommend this place and my boy can’t wait to come back again!!

Can highly recommend to any vegan visiting Norwich. The food is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. Just be aware that you are charged the £4 for 2hr gaming fee as soon as you get a table, not when you select a board game, so make the most of it while you're there!

I went here for afternoon tea, just looking for a vegan cafe while travelling. Didn’t know it was also a board games cafe until I got there. A nice surprise, and boy did it look well kitted-out for it! Shelves and shelves of games to play off the shelf while you eat, and a decent amount of games for sale there, too. The food was excellent. I just had the chicken wrap (a lunch menu item) which was brilliant and refreshing on the hot summer day. They also did a peach iced tea special drink which also really hit the spot. Oh, and a little tub of premade vegan chocolate ice cream, which was delish! The rest of the menu looked amazing. I might have to sneak back here for dinner before I leave the city in a few days… 😋 The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was nice and chill. Clearly a very accepting and friendly place to be. The bathrooms were gender neutral. Edit: I went back for another lunch, going for the main menu, trying the imitation beef burger, with some chips, a spider, and finishing with the — deep fried Oreos! Never seen that on a menu, before! It’s exactly what it sounds like. Not bad. 😋 The food was amazing, but the service was a bit confusing. I thought it was all table service, but the man who sat me down didn’t come back to take my order, so after waiting a while, I went to order at the bar. Maybe just a weird day or caught them at a bad time. They were otherwise great and let me customise my burger by adding gherkins. (I was also a bit stressed for time that day, so I may have overestimated how long I was waiting for service.)

This is a lovely cafe! I came to read the reviews and was really sad to see there's some very bitter people out there. Why come to google reviews before you've bothered to speak to management? Anyway, I've been 3 times now and I can't wait to go again! Food is lovely and great portions. Staff are polite, friendly and not faffing about you while you're eating. The place feels clean and not sticky like other cafés I've been to. The whole cafe is wall to wall board games, I'm glad we can just come and eat the good food though because I'm not into games. I'm a chore eating out. I'm vegan, ocd and a very fussy eater. This place has the only menu I actually struggle to decide what to eat because I've loved all of it! AND THEY DO DEEP FRIED SPROUTS AT XMAS 💚💚💚

We had a works do here. £2 per person for a few hours. We played 2 board games. Cute environment lots of tables. Lush cocktails. Food was rather expensive but everyone who ate around me enjoyed.

My wife and I visited here and ONLY had food and drink so this does not speak as to the gaming aspects of the venue. We had made a reservation and I am uncertain if this is needed usually but would expect it likely would be. We visited here on a trip to Norwich and had pretty high expectations from both the impressive menu and also the reviews. Our expectations were absolutely exceeded by the quality, flavours, service, and presentation of the food. We ordered the lahmacun and buffalo oyster mushroom wings and the tomato and basil salad as sides to the burrito, and a double cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. As you may see from the photographs the presentation was outstanding and the hot food was piping hot. All of the food had incredible flavours and the ingredients were clearly high quality. The buffalo sauce on the oyster mushroom wings was delightfully umami and slightly sour and the batter was light and crispy whilst the mushrooms themselves had enjoyable bite to them. The salad was light and fresh with good balance between salty from the capers and olives with freshness from the tomatoes and basil. The brioche bun was unbelievably fluffy and bouncy and the patties were robust, umami, and smoky with the cheese beautifully melted and an outstanding burger sauce that was very gherkiny. The burrito was enormous and almost overflowing with beautiful smoky refried beans, a gorgeously creamy soured cream and cheese with the rice and plenty of roasted vegetables. The lahmacun was zesty and vibrant and something I have never seen made vegan before. Finally the sweet potato fries were golden and crispy on the outside yet fluffy and gentle inside and everything that was meant to be hot was piping. The service from the hostess/owner/bar lady was polite yet enthusiastic and welcoming and she passed on our praise to the chef for us. Probably the best ever vegan meal I have had on 8ish years of being vegan alongside Tofu Vegan 😍

Absolutely delicious vegan food, loved the oyster mushroom wings and the caesar salad. Delighted to see this 100% vegan place in Norwich

Nice and cozy cafe to gather with friends and family and learn a new game or play a classic. Tables are decently sized, enough room to play catan 4 players with drinks for everyone. 3 toilets available. Vegan menu with delicious pancakes (American style) with homemade chocolate sauce and whipped cream (non dairy). £1.50 per hour per person is a fair price. 10-12 tables available. Staff are very attentive and friendly.

It’s a really cool place to get your adrenaline pumping if you like climbing. The fact that it’s an outdoor activity that can be done indoors is great for me. The staff are helpful and having a cafe is also great so one can take breaks and have a drink as well. I’d recommend!

Lots and lots of different and interesting bouldering problems. The site is relatively new, but they've been around for a long time. If I lived in Norwich, I'd be a member for sure. Great coffee too.

I recently went with my brother and my kids (kids aged between 15-20) and had a private session to show us the ropes. It was amazing, I'm definitely going to take this up as a hobby - and I was incredibly anxious to begin with! Brilliant place

Love this space, so many walls to climb, lots of variety of routes and difficulty levels so there is something for everyone. The coffee and cake are great and the pool table provides somewhere to give your body a rest between climbs while still having a good time. Staff are friendly and knowledgeable Prices are reasonable

I've been climbing at Highball since it opened (old centre) and love the new building. I was initially upset at the lack of roped climbing, but the new centre is amazing and full of great climbs that are reset regularly. My friends and I had an "Intro to Board Climbing" session last night. 2hrs with Ben who was excellent. His guided warm-up was very informative and he was able to use his experience to articulate each exercise and how they benefit you as a climber. I will definitely be making good use of the amazing woody board from now on. The food and coffee are always really good, and the facilities keep improving with time, as does the list of coaching and class options. If they had a lead wall, I'd probably never go home.

It's huge! An excellent variety of walls and routes. Some very big cool holds. Friendly and helpful staff, very nice chap helped my partner buy new shoes. Just great experience all round!

This is one of the best centers ive had the pleasure of visiting. The staff are super friendly and supportive. I bought a pair of shoes from them recently and after wearing them a few times realized they were too small. They were definitely not in a brand new condition and they swapped them straight out for the correct size. For me that says everything about the care show.for their customers. 11/10

We had our lads' birthday get together here and the event was enjoyed by all. We thought it was good value, it ran very smoothly and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating and friendly. Three 9 hole courses of oriental themes than you can choose from... We didn't have any food, having eaten earlier, so unqualified to comment on this aspect. Appeals to all ages - there was even a Hen Do sharing the course.

We visited Putt Putt Noodle today to celebrate my dad’s birthday and had such a great time! The staff member on shift was very friendly and welcoming, and he really made the experience fun for us. We booked the two-course option and loved how each course had different levels of difficulty — especially entertaining for us as novice mini golfers! Overall, it was such a fun and memorable experience, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking for something different to do in Norwich.

Fancied a game of crazy golf while visiting Norwich. Three fantastic and challenging courses for only £10 each, absolute bargain. Drink after were that tasty we had two.

This was an exciting venue for golfing, with a fun-packed Japanese course. Mini props like the bridge and pink trees are really cool, appreciate the feature of the Japanese river running through too! Some holes have points for launching golf balls up, including a Norwich Tudor house that is a unique touch bringing the city into this course. Final hole has multiple slopes leading up to the scores to give more opportunities, check-in was easy at the desk with welcoming staff!

Had a brilliant time as a group of eight on a work social evening. The Norwich branch made us feel very welcome and were really accommodating when we needed to make some changes. They were friendly and professional. The cocktails were delicious. I reduced the food rating by a star as I felt the loaded fries should have had more pulled pork topping. Everyone enjoyed the taste and presentation of their food. Would highly recommend Putt Putt Noodle Norwich. Thank you to all the staff who made our evening fun and memorable.

Visited with a few friends and had a wonderful time. The staff are beyond friendly, welcoming, and sure know how to make a mean drink! We were served by Max and Molly who, alongside some lovely conversation, remained professional and were always happy to help if needed. A great spot for a fun (and affordable!) evening, would highly recommend.

We loved our visit to Putt Putt Noodle bar. The food is great, service is with a friendly smile and the indoor crazy golf courses are lots of fun. The environment is dark and the music is loud, so older customers might not appreciate this, but for younger people, it's ideal.

had my birthday here and it was amazing, really helpful staff and lots of fun. Everyone who came had a great time so I would definitely recommend it !

The kids had a good time, but the large, dark play hall was unbearably hot and stuffy, with clearly stale air. My son even developed a fever the next day because he had to come out to the food area in a soaking wet T-shirt. For the prices charged, providing fresh, healthy air during play should be basic. At the birthday table there wasn’t a single birthday sign or real decoration—only a few small ceiling ornaments that didn’t create any festive atmosphere. To make matters worse, the table had my name on it instead of my son’s, even though we had agreed on the details in advance and I exchanged at least five emails with the staff to confirm everything. Finally, safety is a serious concern: after the game, while heading to wash my hands, I fell hard on the stairs in front of the reception desk, in full view of many guests. Both my knees are still bruised. There is a warning sign on the ceiling, but people don’t walk around looking up. This is extremely dangerous and needs to be addressed. Overall, fresh air and basic safety should be guaranteed.

We just held my daughter's 7th birthday party here and I can't praise it enough really. This venue doesn't seemed to have changed at all in the last 30 years but it works so I guess it's a case of "if it's not broken, don't fix it". The birthday package was very good value for money, not cheap as such but a very fair price for everything that's included. The staff were excellent and really put the effort in to see that your needs are met and you have a good time. A splendid time was had by all and I can't say fairer than that really. Highly recommend.

Was hosted by Nathan, Mia, and Lola on a very hot Saturday in June. Despite the sweltering heat, they were all upbeat, fun, and welcoming, and myself and the nine other players had loads of fun. Thank you!!

Me and my partner booked a session. It was just the two of us but we had such a good time. We’re both 25 and we still had such a laugh. The staff were nice and friendly. The place was very fun! 🤩

We had my son's 7th birthday here and it was brilliant. An hours private arena hire, then an hour for lunch in the party area. The kids absolutely loved their first laser tag experience and the dads got involved too. A lot of fun had! The staff were friendly and helpful and it was an overall great experience. We will be coming back!

Great party experience for my 8year old, very attentive and helpful staff.

We had an excellent time Breaking Out of Prison! Darcy was a wonderful host and made the whole experience more enjoyable, a nice big escape room with plenty of fun puzzles, we will be back for the casino or one of the other inviting rooms!

We had a great time at Clued Up in Norwich! Darcy was a fantastic games master who helped us just the right amount so that we could escape from the Casino themed room. She even gave us five minutes extra! The room was really well thought out and there were lots and lots of puzzles to solve! It was my wife’s first time doing an escape room and she had a lot of fun, so I’m sure we’ll be back to try another room soon. Would recommend for a fun and different evening out in Norwich!

Absolutely brilliant Escape Room Company! We've done 10's of rooms from UK to US, CZ, Cyprus etc, and this was a really great room (Circus Collection) - very good fun with well written clues & puzzles and an innovative premise rather than the usual "escape in 60 minutes" theme... thanks Andy & team!

As someone new to Escape Rooms, we participated in the Prison room and it was so much fun. The staff are brilliant and very much into what they do which is refreshing. The puzzles were a great mix of manual puzzles and technology. Really great time and will be back for sure.

Had THE BEST time!!! Jaz was fantastic! Really enjoyed the casino room and managed to escape! We’re all definitely going again!

Fantastic experience for our 13yr old son's birthday party with three of his friends. Jas was a wonderful host - acting the part of the stern guard perfectly, to keep them on their toes and motivate them to escape from the prison with only a few minutes to spare! Nice mix of puzzles and all the kids felt that they were able to contribute to the team's success. A great game, run by a local independent company - family-friendly, and perfect for any kind of celebration or team night out. Highly recommended.

First time doing an escape room. Was a wonderfully fun and exciting experience! We did "Prison Breakout" and Callum was an excellent host. Definitely a great experience.

Awful! Turned up and made a booking at 1530 in store with the staff member. He booked us in at 18:30 so my family and I waited for 3 hours. When we returned for our booking the staff member had forgotten us, and told us we’d now need to wait until 20:00 as the group before us turned up 30 minutes late. The awful member of staff didn’t even look us in the eye whilst more of less telling us he couldn’t care less. So after waiting around for 3 hours (after booking a slot) we’re now left with a wasted evening, a disappointed child, and a parking charge they wouldn’t even validate. We do many escape rooms and know that if you turn up late, you loose that time of your game. So an excuse of a customer turning up 30 minutes late is ridiculous and incredibly unprofessional. Very poor showing from this company!

We booked a group of 6 for VR gaming. Aged 10-15 ish. Couple familiar but first time for most. Each in their own room but has an open linked com just for our group. 1hr was plenty enough. We started playing the same game, then split off with some playing solo and others still playing together. Lots of games available for a wide range of preferences. There is a vr help button which summons the staff if you are struggling and they can also communicate through the headset. You are also monitored on the staff screens both in game and in room. They were running about 45mins late for our session, but if the people before us were just as useless at getting setup and familiar with controls then it's no surprise. We'll enjoyed and recommend 👍

Top class VR place. The equipment is well maintained. The rooms are clean. Never had any lag or stuttering. So it shows they put the efforts into the rigs running the vr. Also. They use Valve Index headsets so have Half Life Aylx which is a bonus.

Had a great time playing the laser tag here with some mates. The technology was fantastic however a little buggy, 2 out of 3 of our haptic vests didn’t work (however we did receive a full refund for these) and a headset kept disconnecting. The staff here are friendly and very patient considering this was the first time I had ever used a headset before, even throwing in a couple extra rounds because of our troubles. Overall it didn’t ruin the experience and I’d love to return once again when these bugs are fixed. 🙂

All in all an ok visit. Sadly we visited with our two 12 year old boys and on the first game there was constant swearing from other players.

If they had managed to honour our booked appointment I would have happily awarded this place 5 stars. Sadly we were made to wait over an hour for a slot we had booked due to the staff allowing a walk in appointment to take the time slot that we had booked weeks in advance. I'm not entirely sure if the staff understand how a booking system works if they are just going to ignore it. The actual VR experience, introduction and demonstration was great. The headsets are cleaned between uses and they help ensure they are sat on your head correctly. Sadly I just cannot give 5 stars due to the pointless booking system.

As a whole, I can't say I had a good experience. It started out okay for like the first 5-10 minutes until the VR completely crashed and after we got everything running again, none of the games would load and I was just stuck on the Steam menu, (not the actual VR menu where everything is), staff relocated me a different room and added on extra time for time I missed, guided me through everything and things seemed like they'd be okay from there but when it actually came down to it, I could never really get going or get to properly experience any of the games I tried to play, either games wouldn't load, controls barely worked for most of the games or the very least were never explained. And top it all off, I was on the Steam menu the entire time limiting what I could do for most of the session then in the last 5 minutes of the session, it just decided to load me into it but by then, my time was basically up which left me even more feeling frustrated and angry than I already was during/after the session. For the entire time I was there, I got only get to play 2 games properly at best, sure most the games ran okay but that doesn't amount to much when the controls barely work for them (and of course Phasmophobia which wouldn't run at all). I just feel like I never really got to experience anything properly because of the reasons mentioned. Despite this, I can't fault the staff for these things as they were really good to me and did their best to help when it crashed originally, it's just the experience itself that was the issue. Great staff, it's just everything else. I am open to giving it another chance in the future as most of my problems were technical issues so if I do, I hope for better luck. The prices are fair for the time you get, I just wish I got to use that time to it's full potential. Thank you - Anthony

✨Blessed Encounter at St. John the Baptist Cathedral ⛪️🫶🏻🙏🏻✨ On 11/10/2025, we were blessed to tour the tower of St. John the Baptist Cathedral in Norwich 🇬🇧 with my children and dear friend. It was more than a cathedral visit—it was a journey into a living testimony of faith, history, and God’s divine plan on Earth. Our guide, with great kindness and passion, shared the cathedral’s rich history and sacred meaning. We came to see that it is far more than stone and wood—it is a monument of devotion, sacrifice, and love for God. To think that between 1882–1910, without modern technology, faithful hands built such a masterpiece is nothing short of miraculous. Every arch, carving, and stained glass window lifts the soul heavenward, reflecting the glory of God. As we walked its halls and admired its sacred beauty, we felt God’s presence surround us—humbling, inspiring, and uplifting all at once. From the top of the tower, the view over Norwich was the perfect crown to this blessed experience. This cathedral is not just a place to see—it is a place to encounter God. Truly a gift, a glimpse of heaven here on earth. 🙏🏻✨ All glory and praise be to God Almighty! ✨🙏🏻

Hard to believe this amazing Gothic cathedral wasn't built hundreds of years ago? Wonderful, uplifting and very accessible for wheelchair users! There is a modern entrance to one side called the Narthex. This houses fully accessible parish rooms, excellent disabled toilet, cafe and repository. Please note, the cathedral is not dog friendly. I've asked them to amend a notice in the newsletter saying dogs aren't permitted in the cathedral to "no dogs permitted except Assistance Dogs" because this is breaking the law. Assistance dogs are essential and in the case of deaf recipients, it's the only way you can recognise a person is profoundly deaf because many profoundly deaf people can't wear a hearing aid or cochlear implant. People recognise that the recipient is deaf through the Hearing Dog, and modify communication accordingly. The displays about the history of the cathedral is so interesting and one thoroughly enjoyed reading them. Lovely well stocked affordable repository. Cafe is a little expensive compared to many other places around Norwich; a latte £3.80 and a dry date slice (ok, a disappointment) £3.30. £7.30 for the two! Shocked. Spoilt my visit somewhat. To contrast with that, in the Walsingham Slipper Chapel tea room, I paid £2.50 for a big delicious homemade scone and £1.75 for a cup of filter coffee. Big difference! £4.25! If you're on a low income it really does make a big difference. It's wonderful going to Mass here. A lovely aura of peace.

This great church was built between 1884-1910 to the design of George Gilbert Scott Jnr (finished by his brother John Oldrid Scott after his death in 1897). It is widely admired and considered one of the most successful of the thousand of Victorian reinterpretations of the Gothic style, showing a scholarly knowledge of medieval architecture and an attention to detail that were it not for the sharper condition of it's stonework this could be mistaken for an authentic 13th century church. This may sound like a praise of pastiche, but it is more than that, for I genuinely believe no other post-Reformation church so successfully captures the spirit of the middle ages as this one does.

I often come to this cathedral as I love looking at the architecture here. I have done the tower tour which I had prebooked online and it was worth paying for! The tour guide was friendly and so knowledgeable which made the already amazing experience even better. Also, all of the staff I’ve come across in this cathedral have been wonderful, I have no complaints about any experience I’ve ever had here. When I was last here looking around we had a lovely member of staff come up to us and gave us so much information about how the church works and also how it was built and why things are the way they are which was really interesting!

Truly beautiful Gothic cathedral which acts as the base for the Catholic community in East Anglia. Absolutely worth visiting as a tourist, and coming to celebrate mass as a Catholic!

A magnificent edifice fitting for the worship of the King of kings. It will fill you with awe. It us an architectural wonder and is as awe-inspiring as it is solemn. Every visit leaves one spell bound. The view from a distance culminates in a modern entrance to the church hall which is simply beautiful. It is a place to reconnect with the divine and savour the sheer brilliance of the architecture and aesthetics of the structure. I can't have enough of this church.

This really impressive building is "only" just over 100 years old, so very young compared to other Norwich churches, still, the guides have plenty of information to share. It is possible to pay to go up to the balcony level and up the tower, where there are some great views of the city and beyond.

We had so much fun doing the Aladdin room! Friendly staff and smart clues to solve. We had a blast. Thank you to our game master Emily! We wi be back to do more rooms.

There for a stag and it was amazing! Great staff (Jesse) and helpful hints along the way! Defo recommend the War Room one as it's fun and really gets your brain thinking whilst still being fun 🤩. Jesse made it feel immersive! Felt smart and not at the same time 🥲😅 (all part of the fun)

Great fun had for a 40th Birthday- welcoming and organised- Kate our host was lovely. A card was hidden with a clue- a lovely touch.

Jacob, Emi, and the whole crew were fantastic! Absolutely incredible escape room for my first time and can’t wait to come back. 11/10 and wish I could give it more than 5 stars!

Came this evening for my friend’s birthday at late notice without booking, Jesse greeted us and set up the room we had wanted to do in under 15 mins. Another lady, we didn't catch her name but she was blonde, explained the room and the rules to us really clearly. We managed to escape due to their helpful prompts and had a really fun time overall! Thankyou so much to the experience we had so much fun and our friend loved it on her birthday! Very much reccomend :)

Big fan of escape rooms, so was excited to try here - and I wasn't disappointed! Host Felicity was lovely and a great game master. Really like that you can take drinks into the rooms, which are very reasonably priced! Would 100% recommend and I will be going back to do another!

A really fun day out! We all loved this escape room experience, the set up was so professional. Chelsea and Lewis were really helpful and friendly from the start to finish. We did the Aladdins cave (and just about managed to escape!) And will be back to do more!

Relaxed atmosphere although it was busy. Staff polite and helpful. Choice of games a d food available. Didn't have to wait long for a game of bowls. Air conditioning was good on a hot day.

Edit responding to comments Rating based on using bar and arcade. I found the staff pleasant and welcoming. Good range of drinks, snacks and arcade game. However, everything is more expensive than other on the city with no comparable improvements in quality or game time.

Took visiting grandchildren and their parents for a treat. Booking was easy, no waiting for a lane to become available. They really liked it and visited the 2p slot machine afterwards. They had 2 games which lasted about 1 1/2 hours. Personally I found it very expensive for the amount of time, even booking in advance was of no benefit. I wouldn't go there again.

Very nice lanes and fairly reasonably priced. A nice selection of drinks and there is usually lane service so you can have them brought to you. I've never eaten here before, but the food going to other tables looked decent. The arcade area is well stocked with fun games to play and there are also a few pool tables to play on if you've had enough of bowling. A fun day out for the family and won't break the bank.

One of the better ones I gave been too, mainly because the staff smiled and interested in us. Venue was fresh and smart. Local carpark is free, which is handy being in the city centre, or train station almost next door. Recommended.

Great atmosphere, loved their bowling and pool venue made special with great service from Kara Tristan

We decided to book in one rainy day over the Easter holidays. It wasn’t too busy when we turned up at 10am (was a lot more busy an hour later!). We went with our two children aged 6 and 4 and the baby. We felt quite rushed when we got there as were told that we each had 10 minutes so had to be done by 10.40am. There was a member of staff hovering by at that time to clean our area after. Part of me is quite impressed if they clean the booths after every use. The booking system was a bit frustrating as it only gave us an option of 10-12 then once we booked, told us we had to be there for 10am. This was a bit tight for us so we called to try move it back a bit but they said that wasn’t possible. So we rushed and we made it there but would have preferred either a better booking system or someone more helpful on the other end of the phone. Otherwise, it was fun and clean. There’s also an arcade which is fun to play on after.

What an excellent place to have a child’s birthday party - booking online was simple and straightforward, polite and timely communication by phone call to finalise details and make any changes a week before the party, and the staff on the day were nothing short of amazing - coordinating and organising all the guests, setting up the party space, serving food including remembering children who had allergies. They were so friendly and attentive. The level of care and attention to detail was first class. Of course, the children also had an excellent time jumping and playing on the trampolines. Thank you for creating an amazing birthday party for our child.

Really great experience yesterday. Went for the jump and lunch session with my 4 year old as a birthday treat. All the staff were really friendly. And the girl on the court was fantastic. Engaging with the children whilst still making sure everyone was safe and having a good time. The lunch included in the jump and lunch session was lovely. We will definitely be returning.

We had a great party for our sons 11th. The premises were clean, the toilets were clean and amazing service in the cafeteria! Special thanks to Finley though , who was our party host and everything was PERFECT! He was polite, engaging, friendly, respectful and made the whole thing stress free. Thank you to all the staff , food was FANTASTIC , the pizzas are to die for, and everyone had a fantastic time!

Held my sons 9th birthday party here, we picked a SEN party which was best suited to our needs, we also added the Neon hassle free birthday package - this far surpassed our expectations, especially the cake, the decorations were lovely, and the whole atmosphere was perfect. Handmade pizzas too, also very accommodating of dietary requirements. From start to finish the staff were amazing, attentive, friendly and made the whole experience that much more special, we would like to say a huge thanks to our party hosts Riley and Jas, you ladies were brilliant!

Brilliant Trampoline Park! We have an annual membership so go regularly. Great food & coffee. Had my little boys party there today and Riley looked after us and was excellent! We couldn't have asked for a better party host, she was brilliant with the kids and kept everything running really smoothly and on-time.

Me and My 3 year old daughter had a lovely 3 hours at the jump n lunch, staff are so friendly and food was really nice too. Brilliant time.

Absolutely fantastic! Booked in a party of 15 to bounce, due to traffic we arrived later than intended but the staff were so amazing and accommodating from start to finish. Such a quick and easy signing in despite the large numbers and very efficient at getting them in overall. Was so impressed I had to ask their names. Thanks so much to Tracey, Tina and Alfie

(May 2025) Really great experience, went with 3 friends and had lots of fun. The room we did (Tomb of ahkanaten) was a good balance between a challenge and actually doable. Easy to book and worth the price for me. Staff were really kind too! Thanks!

Really fun escape room, highly recommend giving these guys a visit. We did 'The Haunted' escape room which was really good - just the right level of spooky and challenging. Would definitely go again and try one of their other rooms!

We did The Haunted this afternoon as a birthday treat. Our host, Rebecca, was most welcoming. We were told we had chosen one of the most difficult rooms to escape. We were also told we would only be given 5 clues if needed. We had one clue and escaped with 3 seconds to spare x a lovely afternoon x Recommended x

Brilliant! Steve was great, so friendly and kind. It was such a fun experience and we will definitely try another. :)

My wife and I did the Tomb of Akhenaten room and it was really good, we escaped! Thanks to Lee for showing us the ropes and being really engaging when we spoke to him afterwards.

An hour of good fun as a group of 6. Approx £22 per person. Not outrageous price for an hour's entertainment. We didn't manage to escape.

Did the Maniac room. Was a great time! Puzzles are very well crafted and could not recommend more. Managed to escape with 4 minutes to spare.

Brilliant laser tag party for my 9 year old over half term. Great staff, great entertainment and good food. As a parent it was lovely to be able to sit with a coffee and watch the kids have fun on the cameras in the laser area! Everything was taken care of and the price was very reasonable. Also the staff were brilliant with the children. Just be mindful that 1.5 hours is tight for parents to leave and come back so the end for us was a little rushed.

We had a fantastic time. The laser tag arena was immersive and exciting, with the UV seaside theme adding a unique touch. The game was well-organized, and the staff were friendly and helpful in explaining the rules. It was a great experience for both kids and adults! The play café was a wonderful addition, especially for younger children. The under-5s play corner, books, and movie shed made it easy to keep little ones entertained. Thank you for creating such a fun and welcoming space. We will definitely be back and will recommend Labyrinth Norwich to our friends and family!

We went for our staff well-being. Which I was very dubious about it, (as we had mixed ages and abilities) but actually we all had a great night, very easy and Charlie made us feel very welcome. It was a private hire, would do it again, Thank you,

Such a fab place. Daughter had 7th birthday party there and they all had a great time - including 2 of the dads who played. The whole experience is so easy. You can literally just turn up with a cake - which they also bring in and then cut for the party bags that they supply too. Food and drinks are brilliant. Pizza and chips are so tasty (luckily there was enough for me to steal some too) Most importantly staff are friendly and enthusiastic. Hassle free from start to finish and also great value. 100% recommend. Thanks

My daughter had a build a bear party at labyrinth for her 6th birthday, she had a lovely time with her friends in the party area playing before the party, they loved picking their own bear and building it followed by food and some extra playtime. We also got some party bags which I wasn't expecting and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was lovely too and there was plenty of room for parents to chill while the kids played. Would definitely recommend she had a wonderful time thank you.

Brilliant party venue, we've visited here twice for parties now. Laser tag & build a bear party! Food and drink is also reasonably priced and children are served handmade pizzas for their meal. Only downfall is you still have to pay for parking at Rose Lane car park even though your using their venue - there should be a stamping system in place especially if you have to stay with your child for the duration of the party.

Great place for a children's party. We've just had my sons 7th birthday here and everyone had a great time. The children are well looked after by the hosts and the cafe is well stocked to keep the spectating adults happy! Super friendly staff.

£12 adult game pass for all these retro arcade games, you could order drinks as well got some tables and chairs to chill, very nice for some friends gathering or couple date. it also has Nintendo switch, Wii U, Xbox 360 etc definitely worth the price considering we normally spend £20-30 each at our local seafront arcades.

We had a really good time in Retro Replay. It was a fun blast from the past for me as they had some of my childhood games like Halo and Goldeneye. Also time crisis with unlimited continues!!! The kids thoroughly enjoyed the experience here and it was nice not having to keep topping up the machines with coins. A good few hours of fun for all ages

Had a fantastic time, the thought of 4 hours of gaming was my biggest nightmare as I am not the biggest gamer, however I had a great time, loved all the games and it's absolutely fantastic. Will definitely be back again. I found also prices of refreshments is absolutely brilliant, really good value for money and if you want a toilet make sure you ask at desk they do have a code for a toilet upstairs. The tops hanging up at the bar, again really good prices I was expecting £30-35 but no, £15 per top really good prices all round! 😁😁😁

What an amazing place - so many fantastic machines from different eras to keep everybody and anybody fully entertained for a good few hours. I was there for three hours and I had barely seen what every cabinet had to offer - and that's not even including all of the retro consoles available to play in the attached room.

What a way to spend a tenner! Access to all the arcade cabinets and consoles over both units (next to each other) you can come and go as you please throughout the day once you obtain the wristband. I was only able to spend a couple of hours here this time but even then had fantastic value for money. Highly recommended and will go back asap

Had a great time at Retro Replay, and to be honest, if I hadn't been with my young 'un I probably would have stayed longer (mind you we was still there for about 3.5 hrs...!) Wristbands are £10 for an adult and you can pop out, pop back in again etc. Set up is good, lots of variety, and whilst not exactly retro I also liked the fact that they has some newer console stuff set up as it mixed it up a bit. We did need to get a drink and they were reasonably priced etc. Not much of a selection on snacks, but enough to keep you going. As a parent, the only bit I would have preferred would have been an internal door from the main room to the lounge area as opposed to walking out and round (unless me and the kid missed a door somewhere..!) A great place, and will certainly try and visit again if in the area.

My family and friends spend a day here and it just blew me away with all the old classics I use to play as a child. I had to keep telling myself that its ok to play all the games as there free to play when you have paid to get in. We also went out and had lunch and come back to play again as you can come and go as you please. Awesome place

Me and my wife had an amazing experience Canoeing here for the first time. Nick and Kai were very helpful and friendly! Will definitely be visiting here again and would highly recommend this place!

Had a really great experience with this service. The man who greeted us was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very reasonable price too considering we rented the boat for five hours. A wonderful way to see Norwich a little differently!

This was a great day. They cleaned the boat for us and gave us little seats to sit on so we didn't get a wet bum. We rowed down to the Rushcutters pub where we had already booked a table and enjoyed lunch. Along the way, we saw lots of ducks, geese, swans, and even a heron, which was beautiful, I wasn't expecting the level of nature we would see, but it was beautiful. It did rain a little, but it didn't last long, and it was still an epic day. Highly recommend to come here.

We had a brilliant time with Pub and Paddle for our recent work social. Paddling on the river was a fun way to bring the team together, and the staff made everything easy and enjoyable — even for beginners! Afterwards, we enjoyed delicious pizza at the pub next door, which was the perfect way to wrap up the day. Highly recommended for a unique and memorable team outing! Thanks Pub and Paddle 😊

Had the best day out with Pub and Paddle. Nick and the team were great and the route down to Thorpe was amazing!

Quite terrible customer service, Booked 24 hours ago but due to an issue out of our control we called 3 hour ahead to make them aware we can not make the booking. We do not require a refund simply to change the date. I was met with no attempt at resolution just a simple “I’m losing money so you can’t just change the date” It states on the website any changes to be made with 48 hours notice. I asked, “what do you do to help your clients who book the previous day?” (24 hours prior ) “nothing you just lose your money “ Rude, unprofessional, and in an industry where you are people facing, please work on your attitude, it’s not how you should run a business.

Absolutely fantastic, this is something you should do! Spent 4 hours rowing along the lovely scenic river stopping off at a couple of pubs before turning back again. It's great fun and so peaceful, I can't wait to do it again.

Promising kick off! I saw the opera singers and the suspended drummers and acrobats at Millenium Plain: exciting start, which had people flocking out of the shops to witness this spectacular beginning with much more to be come!

I love this festival. Norwich really starts buzzing, there is a diverse choice of events to attend at different venues (including several for free) and Chapelfield Gardens is transformed. Long may it reign!

Some absolutely amazing experiences in the best arts festival in the East. An eclectic mix of the best live performance around

Amazing building and brilliant staff bringing the best festival to the city of Norwich every May. Well worth visiting Norwich for.

It’s a great show they put on

Too soon after lockdown

ok

Helpful staff and a great exhibition.

Great exhibition by the Singh Twins. Also at Norwich Castle

Well considered exhibitions well presented

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing the Grayson Perry tapestries here

Went to the foodies festival and had sister sledge not played I really would have felt a bit cheated on the entrance ticket. Many food stalls sell average food at pretty rich prices. Got loaded veggie fries from one vendor which was £10. It came with coleslaw and packet cheese sauce and crispy onion. Not going to name the vendor. After the £5 parking, food and drink (bubble tea £6, which was nice), 2 of us spent north of £70 and could have had much better value with a pub lunch. More free stuff please if you're going to charge that much.

What a wonderful place for a walk!! Looking forward to seeing the wisteria bloom all over the manor house, now owned by UEA and part of their law campus. Gardens are open to the public, including the gorgeous Dutch Garden, the wooded area, and the open fields. You can walk all the way around the outside of the house, and then down to the river where you can walk to the marshes. Parking is free for 2 hours at the Earlham Park car park, where they also have (paid) electric chargers. Students and staff are not able to park here so it’s just for the general public to use, next to the Enterprise Centre. The park is vast and dog friendly, plenty of bins. I wish there were more benches and places to sit, but if you don’t mind bringing your own blanket there are plenty of places you can sit on the ground. As it’s big, it doesn’t get too busy when the weather is nice, but the car park does get full quickly. There’s a little cafe which is great for a cuppa, also dog friendly - Earlham Cafe. All in all, wonderful leafy wooded park, great to explore, child and dog friendly. Very tranquil and relaxing.

The actual show side fantastic but parking a nightmare no one stop cars going into what you thought you could park in and had to turn round in tight spots and get past the cars coming in other direction. Food on sale was great only let down parking side

Another fab walkies with my lovely dog at Earlham Park, in full summer bloom. Beautiful place to hang out. Dog enjoyed cooling down in the river.

Great venue for ‘the rock and roll circus’

The Foodies Festival was Ace... Food was fantastic, had delicious non alcoholic Pina Colada in pineapple, food stalls with a variety of home made products that were fresh and delicious, there were displays of cookery by top chefs, inflatables & rides for children, music was great with really good bands and individual acts, overall the atmosphere was relaxing and fun. Can't fault the experience we had. Will definitely go there again...

A large outdoor space to walk dogs, picnic or just walk through to the UEA's woodland area, with a small carpark (also roadside parking near church) and a cafe (limited opening times, ring ahead to see if open)

It was very nice here! I did really enjoy the concert from the red hot chilli pipers

Fantastic venue. They have a sectioned off part for people with accessibility needs with chairs. No need to rebook just ask a member of staff to direct you. If the chairs are full they can bring more. Very nice as i attended a concert with a relative with mobility issues. Will definitely be back for more shows!

Saw Gok Wan DJ here last weekend. The good: atmosphere was good, sound system was decent and Gok and the support acts were on point. The venue was a good size and liked the 360 crowd around the DJ. The bad: if you're playing on the fact there's a 360 degree performance space, then for me that means the DJ would be on a rotating platform or otherwise move around during the performance, but no. You could just stand around and behind the booth and see either a stack of speakers or their back. Drinks were also very pricey. £15 for a pint and a single rum and coke is a bit much, worse that you're then confronted with a screen prompting for a tip! This is not table service, I went to the bar and the bar staff put some liquid in a plastic cup for me to take away. How is that tip worthy and why aren't you just giving them a slice of the massive bar prices??

Saw Obituary. A decent sized venue. The sound was a bit muddy for the first support act, but cleared up quickly for the second band and was perfect for the main act. Couldn't tell you about the bar or booze prices as I don't drink. Over all a decent place to hold a gig.

Waited in the little bar area besides the box office which they call the Green room. The service is shocking they don't know how to use a coffee machine. It isn't worth the ridiculous wait because the staff are extremely slow. Then service a shockingly quality coffee need to tighten the grind and understand timings. Also discusting. Spider webbs every where dead plants and tables shockingly dirty

Have attended Bongo’s Bingo here several times as it’s the closest venue that hosts. The rating as listed pertains to the venue itself not the event! Bongos: 5/5. Such an amazing event lots of fun, would 100% recommend! Pros: Event is energy from start to finish, well-paced, interactive and makes you feel like a winner even if you don’t. Cons: tickets sell out fast (especially discounted VIP). Epic Studios: 2/5. I have yet to attend an event at this location where there wasn’t some massive issue with the experience from a facility perspective. Pros: Location is convenient. Has an off license located across the street in case you que early and want to enjoy the wait. You can order food and drinks to the table (a massive improvement over holding signs up). Cons: Food is meh, just sufficient, always seems to take a while is rarely is hot. Inefficient security process coming into the building. The bar seems to always be slower than ordering table side even when there is no que. The ladies’ toilets are always trashed by mid event and never seem to get restocked. Anytime there has been a security issue (fight, overtly drunk person), there never seems to be enough help to take care of the situation). One game we were sat right next to the stage under a screen when an altercation broke out in the long rows of table behind us. We got trapped as tables were pushed back and away. Took a while to assess and clear the area and attend to a young lady who was hit. Thankfully none of our party who was next to the party was kicked out, but from appearance its difficult to identify safety issues when you pack tables in with people’s backs touching. Tips: -Buy tickets early as they will sell out. If in doubt buy them for your entire party (you can just resell what you don’t use later). -Que early if you have a large group or want to be seated right by the stage or at the end of a row. -Don’t bring a massive bag; utilize the coat check if needed. You do not want your coat to fall on the ground inside. It gets nasty. - Have fun! Come in theme, fancy dress, etc. It’s a great environment to celebrate birthdays or a special event.

A great venue with amazing views and sound wherever you sit/stand due to the format of the performance space. The whole place feels really unique with attention to detail everywhere you look. A real gem in a fantastic city. You really should go and see for yourself. So many different acts to choose from.

We recently visited Waterloo Park, and it was a delightful experience. The park is incredibly beautiful, featuring a large kids' water play area that was a hit with the children. The entire park is well-maintained, with clean grounds and gorgeous flowers blooming all over. There is also a small food area where you can buy treats like ice cream and chocolates, perfect for a quick snack while enjoying the park. The parking is quite small but it's free, which is a nice bonus. The attached images showcase the vibrant atmosphere and beautiful features of the park: 1. **Kids' Water Play Area**: The water play area is spacious and fun, as you can see from the numerous kids enjoying the water fountains. 2. **Beautiful Staircase**: One of the park's scenic spots is a grand stone staircase surrounded by lush gardens. 3. **Lovely Walkway**: The covered walkway offers a shaded path with picturesque views, perfect for a leisurely stroll. 4. **Park Map and Sign**: The entrance sign provides useful information about the park's layout and amenities. Overall, Waterloo Park is a fantastic place for families and nature lovers alike. We highly recommend visiting for a relaxing and enjoyable day out.

We love it, it's a great park. We hold our Annual Little yogi's teddy bear picnic there every summer. This year it's 11th July 10-2pm Perfect for young families from babies to toddlers to preschoolers to teen children 🤗

Dog friendly so that's important to me. There's a cafe in the park too so that's a bonus. Ideal family park with surrounding garden areas. Today my family and I went to a dog show in the park. A very enjoyable afternoon. Lots of fun.

A brilliant park, particularly on sunny days when the splash pad is on. The cafe is also lovely and kid and dog friendly. It does get busy when it's warm and the car park can often be full but there is some parking on the road if necessary.

Kids always have a good time, splash park and park in one place is perfect! Cafe is nice, staff are nice. We usually take a picnic but have eaten and drank occasionally and prices are slightly higher than I would expect but still decent food. Can easily stay here for a day, make use of the green space with a football, bat n ball etc...

Amazing venue for our pop up choir And for children walking the dog for get food

Great playground and splashpark, very secure.

Lovely place for a dog walk. A few separate places to park dotted around the green space. Not particularly big and not a lot there but great a short walk

Wow, such a hidden gem! I visited with my dog on a Friday morning around 8am. There’s a small car park by the main gates—it has very limited parking, but there were plenty of spaces when I arrived. The park is beautifully maintained, with plenty of bins for disposing of rubbish and dog poo. There are several paths, including one paved route that runs from the main gates to the back of the park. The other paths are grassy or dirt trails, clearly defined and easy to follow and all loop back round to eachother so you won’t get lost. They were quite wet and muddy due to the rain, but still lovely to walk around. The park is fairly large, and thanks to the many paths, you can wander for quite a while, always discovering something new—maybe even stumbling upon one of the statues on display. I’ll definitely be returning, and my dog thoroughly enjoyed herself too, with plenty to sniff!

Lovely big park. Good for dog walking. Even when it's busy there is plenty of space. Wooded areas if you want shelter from sun/ rain. Have met a lot of nice dogs and people here

Wonderful, large green area many walks, Woodland trails Oaks and Redwoods squirrels galore. Parking and plenty of benches to sit and enjoy . Wooden carvings of animals and birds dotted throughout the park . Large areas for children to run the wild things . Accessible with wheelchairs and buggies . Little bins and dog bins. Plenty. Fabulous place for kids, dogs and families and lone walkers .

Great place to unwind... early morning walks are a great way to start the day. Getting a bit boggy in places when it rains. Keep your eye out for the wooden carvings dotted around. Occasionally spoilt by out of control owners and their dogs. Evening walks in the summer sunshine are one of the highlights of a working week. Keep an eye out for all the carved wooden totems dotted around the park.

Beautiful short walk any time of the year. Great for dog walking as plenty of red bins. Also some interesting wooden sculptures to look at on the way round. There is a big felled log that my son loves to climb about on(the kids all seem to flock to it). A nice place in general for a family walk

Great open area with plenty of walks down trails! There are lots of other dogs around, on and off leads. It's just something to be mindful of.

Fabulous soft play center and was the perfect venue for my sons birthday party. Staff were friendly and helpful and very accommodating for everyone who came. Can't recommend them enough!

Yes it doesn't feel claustrophobic as high ceilings. The issue I had is that kids can only play for an hour, the least. Once you were moved to the party/dining area for the kids they don't allow kids to play in the play area as staff said we tidy up as we got a next birthday guests reservations. But our kids won't be using the tables and chairs only the play area. But he wasn't allowed. They only serve, cold foods.

Softplay itself is lovely, one member of staff seemed as if she didn't want to be there. I'd also highly suggest you take your own coffee as it was made from a machine and tasted very watered down. I have mentioned this the last time I was there but no changes. The children loved it and the lunches for them went down well :) would return but take my own coffee!

Went for little one's birthday party. Basically it has a multistorey climbing frame for older kids. As well as a ground floor section for babies/toddlers in a separate area. They also have a shop that sells snacks, hot food and drinks. Very friendly staff. About 13 minutes drive from city centre.

Held our son's birthday party here. The venue is bright and clean. It was well organised and stress free. The kids enjoyed the food and they had tried to reduce plastic rubbish in the party bags. Would recommend.

Came for a friend's 4th birthday party. Place was clean, well maintained and good quality. The staff balance being attentive with blending into the background. Brilliant event. Well run. I would recommend.

A very nice and welcoming soft play. Just went for a 2 hour morning session and everything was clean, tidy and there were plenty of tables to sit at. The bigger soft play was varied enough and the little under 4's one looked very good too. My little one (nearly 4) reports "I loved the big star slide the best" and I'd have to agree because we went on it about 10 times in a row. The coffee machine coffee gets served in a nice big mug rather than a paper or plastic cup. I had not realised at first but they have a small lunch menu - toasties, cold sandwiches and a limited filled jacket potato selection for kids lunches. Other than that, at the counter is a selection of crisps, biscuits/flapjacks, apples and bananas and some cold drinks. The prices I would say are good for such a small venue, I have come to expect eye watering costs from some places, and given you can't take your own food in I was quite relieved. I agree with some other reviews that the younger side of the 4-10s would get the most out of the bigger soft play but it is well worth a visit.

Beautiful gate from the 12th century that leads you to the Norwich Cathederal and School. When you enter, you will actually see the cathederals spire in front of you. Just think about all the people before is that have walked through this. Just adding yourself to the history. It is an active roadway, so both pedestrians and vehicles will be using it.

Great Historical gate, I walk through there with my Dog when coming back from my folks, just inside Cathedral Close there is the Statue of the GREAT Wellington who beat Napoleon at the Battle of Waterloo, pretty awesome

A medieval gate since the 1200s. Now it’s the entrance towards the Norwich cathedral and the school.

I am so lucky living next to norridge cathedral. I spend quite a lot of time in there. Such a beautiful place. I love to sit in the cloisters with a cup of coffee, enjoying the quiet peacefulness had to explain just a wonderful place to be

Beautiful definitely worth a visit

Built to the glory of the man who led the Bowmen at Agincourt a frame for lovely photos and a shake up for cyclists pedestrians have priority within the Arch and a custodians often policing the vehicle traffic

As gates go, pretty impressive. Imagine this huge erection at the end of your driveway! Could be turned into an electric gate, or employ a hunchback to do the honours of swinging open its massive gape. When it rains, tourists huddle beneath it as if their faces would melt if water got on them, trapped like sheep between rain and rain. Usual chatter about how heavy the rain is and when it may or may not stop, ensue. What wet fun they miss, huddled beneath old bricks.

I visited the gallery today. The exhibition was very interesting and well presented, the owners were friendly and could not have been more helpful. I would certainly go again!

First-rate exhibition of Norwich School artists. Well worth a visit.

Great to see John Link’s artworks! Deffo visit again

A great gallery with amazing space. Their variety of exhibitions, knowledge and friendliness of staff makes this a must on my visits to Norwich.

This gallery has three exhibition spaces, the first gallery has an intimate feel and the other two, larger galleries are contemporary spaces that feel very light and airy and display the pieces beautifully.

Intimate gallery, showing work from regional and national artists, run by a friendly and knowledgeable family team. Long established and tucked away in the historic Elm Hill Quarter of Norwich. Plenty of space for safe viewing.

Haven't used. But rude about parking. You represent your business even if I'm not using. I could be future customer however I would not use based on rude interaction.

Now the refurbishment is nearly done still odd bits need doing near the Oscar bar,the seating is lovely very comfortable,the front walk way is so much better now that the old tills have gone,but I use the disabled toilet but it had no toilet roll or hand soap this need to be sorted right away and regular checks signed off,one other thing is the protector room lightning needs to be checked and switched off as it was left on half way through a movie light up the back row,few tune ups need sorting but other than that I love the new look,photos of the look and the bright light

What a turnaround for this particular Odeon! Last time I went it was tired, shabby and dirty. Since it’s refurb it’s spotless, beautifully done out and now with the super comfy recliner seats. Excellent value for half term at only £5 per person to go see Casper. Bought a family bundle of snacks which was 1 HUMONGOUS bucket of popcorn, 2 large drinks and 2 kids mixes which cost an exceptionally reasonable £18.99. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, all full of smiles and happy to interact with not just us but all other patrons.

Have recently purchased the limitless membership for £14.99- considering this is the price of a film now it’s very good value. With Norwich being an imax it meant that I couldn’t access the films for free- so had to pay an additional £8. But never mind- I’ve now upgraded again. The seats are very comfy, with good recline, and tray for drinks and snacks. The cinema is always empty in the day when I go so have lots of choice for seats. Lots of options for Pick n mix, alcoholic drinks and a costa at the front. Snack are expensive but what you’d expect from a cinema. All in all happy with my membership and the Norwich odeon.

Clean, comfortable, and friendly Odeon Norwich gets the basics exactly right. The cinema is spotless, and the seats are genuinely comfortable. The staff are warm and helpful, the best part of the experience, really. Yes, the film selection is a bit limited (often identical to Vue—coincidence, or cartel?), and the food leans heavily toward the usual sugary and salty suspects. But to be fair, those seem to be standard limitations across most cinemas. Do they still get five stars? Honestly, yes, mainly thanks to the outstanding staff, who somehow manage to make the whole thing feel like more than just another corporate chain.

I wasn’t impressed at all with the new layout! Yes the seats comfortable and roomy but the food and drink ordering is ridiculous! I’m disabled, use a crutch and am neurodiverse and I asked for help ordering popcorn n drinks but was left for over 10 minutes with no one helping me! There wasn’t enough staff and lots of people were complaining about the ordering machines/systems! It’s over complicated and bring back the easy options and offer help to those needing it. It has put me off going there again which is a shame because I love the cinema!

May have upgraded the seats etc but if the film doesn't play and continoius stutters so bad for first 15 mins that you no idea of the plot there's no point. They didnt know how to fix it or understand how it affected the expereince. Walked out and got refund. Definitely not worth over 20 quid for 2 tickets on a week day. 0 compensation offered either. Very sad as was really looking forward to the film. It also wasn't the first time they'd had this issue!!

Just been to watch a film. The screen layout was wrong so sat in the seat as shown in the app. A rude member of staff who I was told is named Zia humiliated me on front of a full screen of people. He said “I don’t care what the app says you in the wrong seat and frog marched me to the other seat. When I said to wanted to complain he said “do what you like” official complaint also made to head office. This has happened a lot in last 3 minutes months due to an update on the screen plan on the app. Have annual ticket but the way I feel now I don’t want to go back as was made to feel like a piece of poop.

My boyfriend and I went to see the new Superman movie today, apart from the air conditioning being broken on a 30 degree day it was a good movie experience. The food service before the movie was absolutely fine and went really smoothly, even when scanning our tickets. I would give this a 2 star but hoping a 1 star might get some more attention. There was a lady working at the ticket stand when we left the movie and I have had previous experiences with her where she has been obnoxious and patronising. She is always shouting at people and my boyfriend even overheard her complaining loudly about customers to other customers. We came out of the movie ready to throw our food in the bin. Firstly, we were debating what to throw away and she just watched us do it which was very uncomfortable. Then she proceeded to tell us that the tango ice blast cup we had was refillable which we didn’t ask for. We went to go and fill it back up, but she followed us over and told us off ridiculously loudly and rudely as if both of us must’ve misheard her and it was in fact not refillable. This was just so embarrassing for us and definitely not how we wanted to end our positive experience. I really hope this gets some attention because I have always had awful experiences with her. Unfortunately, I do not have a name but hope to find out soon, she had a very short hair cut, a loud screechy voice and glasses I think. I want to finish this off by saying I hope I never see her again as she should absolutely not be working on a face to face basis with customers.

I went expecting some mediocre cinima and what do I find there there are confy recliner seats with small tables that can move the room is really quite and dark and the seats are positioned where you can't see the heads if people infront of you. The food us quite expensive but the popcorn is amazing the staff are really kind and helpful

The leather reclining seats are nice. Easy to get to from the car park. Facilities relatively clean and tidy. Plenty of staff on duty.

I use Vue all the time to see the new films out and the service and prices are getting worse and worse. Me and my boyfriend went to see a film late one evening and arrived with plenty of time to kill. I queued up at the tills to grab a small drink and popcorn and he queued up at the ice cream stand. I ordered a small drink and small popcorn which came to around £12 which seems like a wild price for 2 small items. My boyfriend wanted a milkshake and was queueing by the ice cream stand for ages before he was even acknowledged. There are 5 or 6 different tills but only ever 1 person taking orders. To top things off, my boyfriend was then told that he had to join the back of the queue by the tills which was now filled with 10+ people, if he wanted to order ice cream. Awful service and organisation from the staff. Why have a stand if you can't queue there? Safe to say we won't be ordering any food or drinks when we visit next time.

ORIGINAL REVIEW (5 stars) New recliner feel luxury and comfy, Popcorn is huge, Staff are so friendly, Already planning our next trip! NEW REVIEW (4 stars After our most recent experience with VUE Norwich I have a few things to say VUE is still a nice cinema with nice modern seats that are quite big and comfy Popcorn and drink sizes are still huge, but no longer sells Coke products, just Pepsi products now Staff has dropped a few levels but still nice just don’t really care and doesn’t even bother to check your ticket Lights are blinding in the screen and projection didn’t look like it was aligned with the small screen properly Will most likely come back but odeon seems like a better option at the moment!

Arrived half hour early but couldn't get in as they were cleaning (understandable). They didn't let us in until after the feature had started so we missed the opening of the film. Customer services didn't seem interested in making it right.

Very disappointed! My husband was given a gift card for his birthday. When I came to using it the girl on the desk said that she couldn't take gift cards. Why give the option of giving these cards if you then can't use them!

Wouldn't recommend this venue to anyone with a disability. You get cattlepenned to the side/back of the stage. You can't see much of the stage due to the speakers and equipment being in the way, and the fact that you're behind the speakers means you can't hear the music very well at all. It's muffled and almost completely drowned out by the drums. You feel completely disconnected from everything that's going on. Shocking that so little thought is given to this in a music venue!! Definitely won't be seeing any more shows here. Really disappointing!

I’ve gone to some great gigs here and been dragged to a few stinkers - but that’s nothing to do with the venue. I like it here. The sound is great, the stage is wide, low and intimate, and the bar is decent. The massive posts (which are obviously there to hold the ceiling up) are a massive pain though, and unless you are quite near the front, a clear view of the stage can be tough to find when it’s rammed. Damn those posts!

Really great sound, atmosphere and variety of gigs. What more can you ask for? Already booked my return.

We attended Day Fever at this venue, it was amazing!!

Great venue for seeing live music, and having some drinks. God service and fair prices. Plenty of toilets now there's some on the far side too. But the new ones have no mirrors, or at least that's the case in the female ones... I imagine they are still to come?...

Great place for a Gig,it is a little outdated, but the music sounded great! Really enjoyable night out.

My fave venue in Norwich. You get to see the bands up close and there's always a good atmosphere. Nicely stocked bar and ots close enough to the station so that you don't have to leave early to catch the last train.

08.06.2024 Came for a party. Was really hot inside! Staff were very attentive. 1 hour bouncing and 1 hour eating. Slushies were £5.99 with free refills. Food came out hot and fresh. Would recommend as is a good place to burn off some energy. Free parking if parked at Riverside car park, can validate your own ticket at the counter.

Just had an incredible time bouncing around! The check-in was super smooth and quick, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, adding that special touch to our day. Activities were great value for money, and everything was spotless. Can't wait to come back in a month!

Really pleased with the service we received at Gravity this weekend. Dave went above and beyond to help friends of my family in making sure it was a special event for their children. I can honestly say this man deserves a pay rise. He truly has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. Thank you.

We've just had a child's birthday party, hosted by Ryan and Ellie. A really great experience: enthusiastic, helpful and friendly staff, kids had a fantastic time. Even better than expected!

I had an amazing time at Gravity trampoline park in Riverside Norwich. The team was super friendly and made sure we were enjoying everything, which really added to the experience. I loved the trampolining – it was exciting and had great team engagement. Plus, everything felt like good value for money. Can't wait to return soon.

Absolutely diabolical check in. My grandsons 6th birthday party and had to wait over an hour to get people checked in. The manager tried to blame the party rather than rectifying issues. No offer of apology would certainly not recommend.

Excellent place to wear the kids out, everyone loves bouncing. If bouncing isn't your thing there are several climbing walls to keep them amused. Cafe/coffee shop for those adults that don't fancy feeling old the next day.
