Norfolk in November

Being the combined warmest & driest county in the UK – there is always something for visitors to enjoy in Norfolk. Here’s what’s going on in Norfolk in November.

THURSFORD CHRISTMAS SPECTACULAR

8^th November- 23^rd December – The largest Christmas show in the country with a cast of 130 professional singers, dancers and musicians, many whom are West End performers. It’s a 3 hour extravaganza in a gorgeous Christmassy setting with twinkling lights and you will come out singing! And on certain dates you can take the little ones on Santa’s Magical journey. http://www.thursford.com/

SEAL PUPS

Now is the best time of year to see the seal families and their cute little pups which are being born all along the coast. Horsey is a great place to get close and at Blakeney you can get boat trips even closer – and all the seals love showing off! http://www.visitnorfolk.co.uk/things-to-do/Where-to-see-seals-in-Norfolk.aspx

12^th November – Join the wardens for a morning walk around Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve – you might even get to see the barn owls – we are really lucky to have such great bird life and bird reserves here, so do make the most of them. http://hawkandowl.org/sculthorpe/about-sculthorpe/
