Things to see and do in and around Norfolk
Norwich City Centre
Norwich is a vibrant historic city in the heart of East Anglia, offering a rich blend of heritage, culture, and modern entertainment. Visitors can explore the magnificent Norwich Cathedral, stroll through the cobbled streets of the Norwich Lanes with their independent shops and cafés, or discover centuries of history at Norwich Castle.
The city is also home to a thriving arts scene, with theatres, galleries, and live music venues spread throughout the centre. By night, Norwich comes alive with an energetic yet relaxed nightlife, boasting a wide choice of traditional pubs, stylish cocktail bars, riverside venues, and late-night clubs, particularly around Tombland and Prince of Wales Road. Compact, welcoming, and full of character, Norwich offers an engaging city break by day and a lively social scene after dark.
Pace Paddle
As padel continues to grow in Norwich, Pace is emerging as a venue that reflects the sport’s evolution. Purpose-built exclusively for padel, the facility has been designed around how the game is meant to be played – balancing performance, atmosphere, and community.
One of Pace’s standout features is its sense of space.
The venue features three indoor padel courts with the highest ceilings in Norwich at 9.5 metres, allowing the game to open up exactly as it should. Lobs fly cleanly, rallies last longer, and players enjoy the freedom to move and play without limits, whatever their level. Alongside this, Pace also offers an outdoor padel court, adding another dimension to play when conditions allow.
Go Ape
Prepare for an exhilarating adventure high in the trees at Go Ape Thetford Forest, an outdoor experience just a short drive from Norwich. Nestled within Britain’s largest lowland pine forest, this award-winning attraction offers something for thrill-seekers and families alike, promising unforgettable memories amidst breathtaking natural beauty.
At the heart of Go Ape Thetford is the renowned Treetop Challenge, an aerial assault course designed to test your nerve and agility. Navigate wobbly bridges, precarious crossings, and exhilarating Tarzan swings, all culminating in an epic zip-wire finale that sends you soaring through the canopy. For those seeking an even greater thrill, Challenge Plus offers a more demanding experience with advanced obstacles.
