Situated on the opposite side of the river to all the trendy bars and clubs on Riverside is The…read moreWaterfront. A grimy, run down building with a lackluster interior and a floor that your feet will stick to all night long. But don't let that put you off! During the week it is used as a music venue and although you'll never see the likes of Oasis play there, it does attract great up and coming bands. It also offers local bands a chance to showcase their talent with nights organised by local promoters. At the weekends the venue is used as a club that generally caters for the 'alternative' Norwich scene. Friday nights tend to alternate each week between 80's and 90's theme, which may sound cheesy but the DJ's actually play decent music from those decades. It is nothing like your typical Flares or Reflex nightclubs. Every Saturday in the main room downstairs is a club night called Meltdown, which tends to play alternative music catering for the indie/emo/punk/rock/dance genres. Up stairs there are two rooms. One is a small café bar, which is great to as a chill out area as there are plenty of tables and chairs located around. The other room is larger which has a different set of DJ's each week will be a different themed night. Anything from New Electro to Britpop to Heavy Metal or Rap. There's rarely any trouble in The Waterfront and you'll always make a new friend each time you go there. Overall, it's a great night out with a quality friendly atmosphere!

Red Rooster was my first music festival experience, and one that'll stay with me forever. The…read morelegendary C.W Stoneking closing the event with his jungle blues was the perfect finish to a weekend that was just bursting with Americana, showcasing the best of Britain but also featuring several acts who'd travelled from much further. Americana leaves room for real variety, meaning there was an eclectic mix of sounds at the festival; blues, bluegrass, country, soul. We arrived on the Thursday evening and pitched our tent. At this point Suffolk's Euston Estate was at it's quietest, so we were able to find just the spot for us. We went for out of the way and just under a tree. - Home for the next few days! And what a lovely location. The festival was just in it's second year when I visited and still feels very much small and homegrown. The festival's family friendly and there were lots of dogs and young children. As a result, it felt very, very safe. Due to its size, there were also several little quirks to be discovered on site: hammocks, a poker zone, camp fires...It made for quite the wander, and certainly gave the festival a unique feel. These sort of things encouraged a ramble and mixing with other campers, and, consequently, we had many a friendly chat with other campers by the fire. The low points were few and far between, but worth mentioning. The on-site loo situation could have been better. There really needed to be more facilities for the number of people there. - That's all I'll say. The street food vendors were awesome, although some had sold out as early as the end of the first night. By the last night, choices were limited. It was expensive, as expected, but the quality was high. All in all, I'm a big fan of Red Rooster and look forward to seeing how the festival will grow in years to come. It was most definitely worth our journey from Stirling to Suffolk!

It consists of two main halls - St Andrews and Blackfriars, and these are now used for concerts and exhibition centres. Wedding receptions, corporate events and bridal fairs are just some of the events that are held here, as well as the Norwich Beer Festival every autumn.

Downstairs you will find the cloisters with a coffee shop, and a rabbit warren of rooms, and table top antiques fayres are held every week.

The Bure Valley Railway runs between the Norfolk Broads' "capital" at Wroxham, to the attractive…read moremarket town of Aylsham, and makes a great day out for families. The railway is built on the trackbed of the East Norfolk Railway, which ran from Wroxham via Aylsham and was closed to passengers in 1952 and to freight in 1982; the decision to open a railway purely for pleasure saw the current 9-mile long 15-inch narrow gauge line opened in 1990. The line starts for many at the station in Wroxham (actually on the outskirts of the neighbouring town of Hoveton), located on the B1354 road to Coltishall. There is also a footpath from Hoveton & Wroxham main line station. There is a large car park, shop, ticket office, and toilets, as well as a secondhand bookshop. There are intermediate halts for the villages of Coltishall, Buxton and Brampton. Aylsham is the HQ of the line, and its station has two platforms and a large overall roof. It feels like a main line station! There is a ticket office, shop and large cafe, as well as ample parking. All the stations offer level access. A nice feature of the line is the cycle/footpath running alongside, which provides the opportunity to mix the train and walking. The relatively low speed means you have plenty of time to enjoy the lovely countryside as you travel. The services vary depending on the time of year: the website has an easy to use calendar to show the service for any given day. In the busiest holiday periods in August, there are up to 8 return trains a day, running hourly. Trains are made up of small coaches with individual 'compartments' seating up to 4 adults; the trains are too small to have toilets, but there are coaches adapted to take wheelchairs. They cannot carry bicycles. Trains can be hauled by either diesel locomotives, but most are steam hauled at peak times. The line has specially built steam locomotives, so, even though they are small, they're the real thing! Overall it makes for a great day out: we found staff welcoming and helpful, and we enjoyed lovely cakes in the cafe at Aylsham, though a fairly extensive lunch menu was available. Thoroughly recommended.
We recently took a trip on a steam train here when my parents-in-law came to stay (my father-in-law…read moreis a bit of a train enthusiast!). We travelled from Wroxham to Aylsham for about 45 minutes passing through a few smaller stations. The journey was picturesque, overlooking the norfolk countryside although at times the embankment was so high you couldn't see much. We stopped for a quick lunch at The Whistlestop Cafe at Aylsham before heading back again. The food here was fine and there were a few toys to keep young children amused and a bric-a-brac stall raising money for charity. My young daughter found several things she wanted! Adjoining the cafe is the gift shop but unfortunately we did not have time to look round here. It was a fun experience but was not overly exciting for me personally. Also, as we went in November it was fairly cold on the train and it's a fairly rattly ride. Not great for someone who likes their creature comforts although I'm sure others will rave about it!

Glorious view of the salt marshes and the lifeboat station and then up over the path to the beach, wow! Miles of sand and sea and channels and dunes AND beach huts! Old fashioned ones on stilts, all different colours and states of repair. Very photogenic. There are also posher bits of Wells round the back. This is definitely a place worth exploring more; I'll give it a 10! (Oh, sorry, can't, OK a 5 then.) Need to go back and see it for longer.

It's a children soft-play area with a range of things to climb, slide down , swing from etc. There's even a pneumatic gun area where you can load a 'gun' up with foam balls and use them to shoot your friends (or enemies) in mock-battles which is great fun. This place is an absolute god-send when it's raining. There's a small coffee and sandwich shop and a 'parents' area with a range of mags and papers where you can relax while your offspring let-off some steam. It's probably most suitable for the sub-10 year old age bracket. Prices are reasonable there's nominally a time-limit of 2 hours but they don't seem very strict on this when it's not busy.

Although the museum is small, there are things for people of all ages to appreciate, and throughout the year the museum runs activities for both children and adults. The museum is partially housed in some 19th century flintstone buildings, and there is a wonderful display as to what life would have looked like during that period. A life sized model dressed as a traditional fisherman, and various items that would have been used in everyday life, really takes the viewer back in time. This was no grand home, but similar to many fishermen's cottages that still stand dotted around the town which in themselves have added to the quaint character of Cromer. The museum houses archive materials, and anyone interested in seeing old photographs of Cromer may be surprised at the wealth of information available right up to the recent past. Show cases around the museum contain many artifacts from the past, from tools to fossils, and items owned by famous people who were part of Cromer's cultural or working history. One of the main attractions many people visit the museum is to find out more about the East Runton Elephant, the most complete elephant fossil ever to be found in the UK and there are some bones to be seen too. During the month of February the museum usually opens it's doors for free, which is always a good oportunity to become up-dated with anything newly acquired in their displays. There is also a small gift shop at the entrance to the museum. Access There is a lift and accessible toilet. Carers are not charged admission. Assistance dogs are welcome.
