It’s showtime in Norfolk

THE North Norfolk coastline is stunning in winter, with walks on beautiful beaches such as Holkham and a traditional festive vibe in towns such as Cromer, Sheringham and Holt. The three-hour Christmas Spectacular at Thursford is the ultimate festive show, performed by a cast of 130 professionals in a magical setting amid mechanical organs and fairground carousels. It runs from November 10 until December 23 and is a great excuse for a mini-holiday. Keys Holidays has a sparkling choice of short break cottages nearby.
