Shopping & Night Life

If you want retail therapy, you can shop till you drop!  Norwich is open 7 days a week.  Modern precincts Chapelfield and Castle Mall with many of the big store names, the city also has the added attraction of the country’s largest 6-day open-air MarketNorwich is also filled with hundreds of specialty shops in a maze of cobble-stoned lanes and alleys.  Plenty of bookshops, crafts stalls, art studios and boutiques.  Norwich is perfect for Christmas shopping with the chance to experience impressive displays of Christmas lights illuminating the City from mid November.  The annual Ice Skating Rink through the winter draws crowds outside the Forum too!

Norwich has an excellent choice of venues for a great night out.  Entertainment from nightclubs, cinemas and theatres holding a variety of amateur plays with touring West End Productions and Shows starring big name actors.  Also Ballet, Opera, Music and the annual Pantomime there is always plenty to see.

Deciding where to eat is the problem due to the multitude of new places which have burst on the scene.  A diversity of Café Bars, Restaurants (offering cultural cuisine), Wine Bars and Pubs (one for each day of the year it is said!)

Norwich has something for everyone, whatever age or interest
