Hello, Norfolk explorers! 👋

How is half term going in your house so far?

If you’re starting to run out of ideas, don’t panic. Our February half-term guide is packed with family-friendly activities across Norfolk and might just save the day.

Did you get any snow over the weekend? We had plenty in Norwich (check out our video here), although none of it stuck around for long. It did feel very fitting watching Team GB bring home two gold medals while it was swirling outside.

It’s not all half-term chaos this week though. There’s a beer festival, a huge wedding show, snowdrops still going strong and plenty more ⬇️
