The 10 Best Classes & Workshops in Norfolk, England
A holiday in Norfolk is not a glamorous break. While the Norfolk Broads of East Anglia are a beautiful part of the UK, they represent a relaxing rural getaway rather than a high-powered city-break. Although its reputation is mostly rural, with people associating the county mostly with the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads, there are also towns such as Norwich and King's Lynn to visit, both of which provide shopping opportunities, nightlife and entertainment. Norfolk also contains a large stretch of coastline, and seaside destinations such as Cromer and Great Yearmouth mean there are great beaches to be found as well. Many areas of the Norfolk Broads and the coastal region are sites of outstanding natural beauty, and are also protected as bird reserves, so take a pair of binoculars on holiday. There are also popular wildlife attractions such as Banham Zoo, with a great collection of big cats, and Great Yarmouth's Sea Life Centre, one of the biggest of its kind in the country, complete with tropical sharks and conger eels. And of course, if any of your family are interested in boating, you'll need to rent a boat and explore the waterways of the Broads themselves!

The workhouse is a place to come and learn all sorts of culinary and crafty things with a side order of "art". Its more than just a cookery school.

Operating out of a state-of-the-art venue we have some great staff and have drawn together skilled art and craft demonstrators.

We were staying in a lodge in Norfolk and due to Covid-19 all the onsite activities were closed, we found the details for Grey Goose Archery online and I can highly recommend them to all. The booking process was quick and easy and when we turned up it was all organised and set up ready. Sean was super informative with a good sense of humour and made the whole experience fun and easy! Even managed to snap a great picture of me and my partner aiming which was a lovely touch! Well worth the price and if we ever booked to stay in the area again we would 100% do it again!

The most wonderful experience for any bride and groom! We had such a great day yesterday! Mark and Sarah are so welcoming and Mark is so skilled, yet makes you feel very comfortable and relaxed (even when you're stressed about making mistakes). We both felt at ease and had such a laugh throughout the day. We ran over time by a couple of hours yet we weren't rushed or made to feel like we were encroaching on their evening which was very much appreciated. The whole experience was amazing, to say that we have made our own wedding rings is something so special that we will treasure forever! I would recommend this to everyone ????
