Fabulous exhibits which are well spaced out. The volunteers are very informative and keen to pass on their knowledge. Give yourself plenty of time for your visit as there is so much to see! The Tea Shop fits its surroundings perfectly. Its a hidden gem.

We decided to book this game at short notice, after our holiday in Norfolk started out decidedly wet and we needed something indoors to enjoy. Despite some first time nerves, this ended up being a ln absolutely superb escape game and out game master Holly was fab; friendly knowledgeable and helpful when we needed it! We escaped with 1min 12 secs to spare and found it very tricky (2 players). We definitely want to come back to enjoy a tour run by this company and to do the Blickling escape room too. Highly recommended!

My child's 10th party for 6 girls was great fun this week. The instructor was fun, girls loved the activities and to keep costs down we took their own packed lunches and ate them in the cafe area with birthday cake. Parents had lovely coffees and snacks from the cafe and enjoyed being able to watch the girls climb. Thanks to all the helpful friendly staff.

Norfolk Snowsports Club

The Snowsports Club offers you the opportunity to try skiing and snowboarding with a fun, one hour taster session or you could take a series of lessons to really get to grips with your new sport. All are supervised by our qualified instructors. Ski lessons are from 5 years of age, tubing from 6 years and snowboarding from 8, but there is no maximum age and it is never too late to learn something new! Tubing is our most popular activity and is a little like tobogganing - you sit inside a large “doughnut” shaped tube and simply whizz down the slope. Supervisors are always on hand to make sure you wear your helmets and to remind you to put on the brakes and it’s a lot of fun for all ages with no training necessary!
