Norfolk Showground

What it’s like

There's an outdoor play area tucked among the dining spaces, plus a food hall to fall back on if the weather turns.

The play offer here is modest but honest: a children's play area set within the outdoor dining spaces, so it works well as a stop between meals rather than a destination in its own right. It's the sort of thing that suits a break in a longer day at the showground rather than a trip planned around it.

The Norfolk Food Hall is open seven days a week and has a 220-seater restaurant along with retail space. Parking is free and there's plenty of it, which takes one worry off the list before you even arrive.

Accessibility has been thought through properly: accessible toilets, wheelchair access and baby changing are available in most of the venues on site. If you're bringing a pushchair or need step-free routes, that groundwork is already there.

Do bear in mind that specific events held at the showground can sometimes bring their own parking arrangements or charges, so a normal visit and an event day might not feel the same.
