1. Axes and Escapes – Fakenham
This attraction combines trendy escape rooms with thrilling – and ever so slightly scary – axe throwing. You’ll be fully safety trained before you get the chance to throw your axe into the ‘bowling lane’ – and impress everyone if you land a bulls-eye! The rooms are equally exciting, with themes like ‘spy vs spy’, ‘the school room’ and ‘whodunit?’
How’s that for kicking off our ‘Unusual Things to Do In Norfolk’ list?
2. Wizard Maze and Play – Metton
The star of the show in the wizard maze is of course the ‘big maize maze’ that kids will just love getting lost in. But there’s also farm animals like sheep and chickens, a traditional and pedal tractor, zip wire and crazy golf. There’s also an onsite cafe and gift shop.
3. Bewilderwood – Hoveton
Bewilderwood is the perfect blend of theme park and fairy tale, with attractions like the ‘long lagoon’ and the ‘sky maze’ offering imaginative fun for children. There’s 3 food stops, all packed with locally sourced and veggie friendly food. With a wonderful ‘bizarre bazaar’ to top off the fun, this land of ‘twiggles and boggles’ will enchant and entertain.
4. Alpaca Trekking – Wells Next-the-Sea
Have you ever thought about walking an alpaca? Well now you can! These cheeky, fluffy creatures will be happy to have you as their trekker for the day. Lead them down the beautiful scenery of the Wells & Stiffkey coastlines. Your guides will let you know about the history of the coastline, and Alpacas like Machu, Pichu, Paco and Eduardo might just expect some bites of apple at the end!
5. Norwich Ghost Walks
There are all sorts of weird and spooky happenings in Norfolk – from Tombland’s grey lady to the floating maid in the maid’s head hotel. The Norwich Ghost walks are famous in the city, with informative – and shrouded – guides entertaining the crowd with the perfect blend of facts and theatricality.
