Christmas in Norwich is a mix of modern celebrations and traditional festivities. City streets hum with the energy of shoppers, and performances of Christmas carols can be heard from Norwich Cathedral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Norwich Christmas Market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Winter Wonderland, located at the Norfolk Showground, is a standout event during Norwich’s festive season. The Norwich Christmas Market at this venue is unique for its extensive collection of locally produced goods and handmade crafts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One distinctive feature of Winter Wonderland is the ice rink, which adds an element of fun and recreation to your visit. Also, a visit to Santa’s Grotto provides a magical experience, particularly for younger guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
