Reviews) by GoogleUpdated Review: Today, Sunday, November 16, I visited Winter Wonderland. While entrance was free, you needed to book a free entry ticket online to secure your spot. Attendance was quite sparse, and it quickly became clear why many, especially families with young children, decided not to come. For example, I bought three cookies—similar to those sold at Lidl or Greggs—for £12, whereas the same cookies at Greggs cost just £1 each or £2.60 for a pack of three. It wasn’t surprising to see a father and his young children making the difficult and potentially unsafe journey across the flyover just to buy...

Reviews) by GoogleA fantastic, well‑organised event, spacious, clean, and very accessible with plenty to do. Despite the wet weather it felt safe and comfortable, with no mud and lots of activities. Ice skating, food, entertainment, and stalls were all excellent and reasonably priced, with polite staff throughout. Everyone in our group had a great time and we’re already looking forward to next year.

The facilities are fantastic, but it’s the people who truly make the Showground special.
The Norfolk Showground is the ideal location for our large-scale events and offers facilities that are simply unmatched anywhere else in Norfolk. It’s a complete package, easy access, impressive spaces, and everything you could possibly need to deliver a first-class experience for exhibitors and visitors alike.
What really makes the difference for me though is the team. The support I receive from everyone, especially Tracey and Gary, is outstanding. They’re friendly, professional, and always go above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. There’s never a question too small or a request too much trouble.
The facilities are fantastic, but it’s the people who truly make the Showground special. Their genuine care and commitment shine through every time, and it’s why I continue to choose the Norfolk Showground for our flagships events year after year.
