Today, we set out by coach to Wroxham, known as the 'capital of the Norfolk Broads'. Here, we enjoy a scenic ride aboard the Bure Valley Railway, travelling through beautiful countryside, crossing 17 bridges, and passing through quaint villages to reach the market town of Aylsham. On arrival, we will enjoy festive tea and cakes in the station café.

Afterwards, we head back to Wroxham by coach, this time embarking on a festive cruise along the Norfolk Broads. Our expert skipper will explain the broads’ history and more while you enjoy mulled wine and mince pies. With Christmas music filling the air, you’re certain to get into the festive spirit.

Today, we are taken to Norwich station where we join the Bittern Line, named after the iconic wading bird, for a journey to Sheringham. Originating from an old fishing village, Sheringham boasts cliffs, golden sands, and brisk sea air, making it a beloved spot for many. With its winding promenade that flits between low cliffs, Sheringham offers an array of delightful shops, eateries, pubs, and quaint tea rooms. After soaking up its charm, we journey onward by coach to the majestic Holkham Hall.

Nestled within 25,000 acres of rolling parkland, Holkham Hall is an 18th-century Palladian style house, based on designs by William Kent and built by Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester. The current Earl and his family take great pride in opening their doors and sharing the treasures within. The Marble Hall, with its magnificent 50ft dome ceiling and elegant walls of English alabaster, is sure to impress, while the state dining rooms are decorated with opulent porcelain. Remaining largely unchanged since the late 18th century, there is plenty to take in at Holkham Hall. December is an enchanting time to visit, and with a welcoming glass of fizz and mince pie, you’re set to explore the remarkable state rooms as they’re adorned with festive decorations.
