Meet TV legend Delia on a foodie trip to Norfolk
BIG skies, beaches that stretch for miles and pretty, peaceful towns just made for pottering – there’s a lot to love about Norfolk. From its famous Broads to historic market towns, the county offers a slice of quintessential English countryside and seaside.
Here is a chance to get to know the very best of the county and enjoy a special culinary experience in the company of muchloved East Anglian-based TV cook, Delia Smith.
On this exclusive four-day tour, you’ll be hosted by Delia for a full day at her Food And Wine Workshop, where you’ll also be joined by chef Alex Mackay, a cocktail expert, and wine expert Jason Banner. Your fun-packed experiences will include a three-course lunch with wine tasting, a cooking demonstration with Alex, a cocktail masterclass and a Q&A session with Delia and the team. You’ll also dine at Delia’s Restaurant and Bar, and this is just the start of your Norfolk adventure. There will be plenty of time for you to explore the local area from your four-star Norwich hotel.
The famous Broads are within easy reach, there’s plenty of shopping and dining close by, while the historic Blickling Hall and the coastal towns and villages of the north Norfolk coast are slightly further afield.
