The Hippodrome is one of the oldest surviving circus buildings in the UK dating back to the early…read more1900s. The circus features a water spectacular where the ring is sunk and filled with water for synchronised swimming routines. There is a dance troupe Estelle's dancers which regularly perform in the shows. The shows are full of colour and variety and the clown is hilarious. The downside is that the seats are quite steep around the ring - there's not much room but it's worth it because the shows are fantastic. A great way to spend an evening in summer and the kids will love it (especially the clown!)

There are only one screen that is more a stage with a white back drop but it does feel authentic and the seats and sound are to an expectable level. However when first walking in there is a slight smell of feet but you soon get use to it and see it as an authentic quirk. All in all the people are friendly and the location are ideal especially in summer. Be aware there are parking charges and it can not be claimed back like some other cinema complexes.

Really interesting museum, nice cafe, real cockpit from a Jaguar fighter to get into. great day out.read more

This is fascinating Museum housed in original WOrld War II buildings on Parham Airfield, where…read moreAmerican Airmen were based during the war. There are a huge number of artefacts, and every time I go I manage to see and learn new things. The Museum is run by keen volunteers who are happy to guide you round or answer any questions. There is a nice little tearoom which also sells souvenirs and often has wartime music or films playing in it. There are sometimes sandwiches for sale, but no other meals, just snacks like crisps, sweets, biscuits. The souvernirs are VERY CHEAP- lots for under £1. There is also an underground bunker which is open during high season which has been built as an exact replica of one found recently a few miles away at Stratford St Andrew- you can walk through this and see how Britain's Secret Army lived and trained, with original memorabilia such as food and bomb making equipment housed in the bunker. This is very popular with the children, but the main WWII museum part is probably more suitable to adults due to the nature of the exhibits- lots of written displays etc. There are outside picnic tables which are lovely in summer but can get very windy due to the barren and flat surroundings. BEST OF ALL, ENTRANCE TO THE MUSEUM IS FREE- but the Museum does rely on donations to be able to survive. Do play the Museum a visit if you are going near to Framlingham- it is open Sundays March- September and Wednesdays in July and August and really does offer a lovely, informative and evocative morning or afternoon out.

I particularly remember the model railway running through it and the church with singing coming from it. It is situated along the main seafront road but is out of town and it can be difficult to park near, we usually park down by the pleasure beach fun fair and walk up although for tiny feet its still bit of a trek. Well worth a visit. It has stuck in my mind as being a magical experience when i was a child.

You would struggle to make a day of it here and the bulidings are quite old and tired but full of charm. Its just nice to wander around and rumage!

There is no parking at this place but you can park for free at Lidl which is just across the road.

The Bure Valley Railway runs between the Norfolk Broads' "capital" at Wroxham, to the attractive…read moremarket town of Aylsham, and makes a great day out for families. The railway is built on the trackbed of the East Norfolk Railway, which ran from Wroxham via Aylsham and was closed to passengers in 1952 and to freight in 1982; the decision to open a railway purely for pleasure saw the current 9-mile long 15-inch narrow gauge line opened in 1990. The line starts for many at the station in Wroxham (actually on the outskirts of the neighbouring town of Hoveton), located on the B1354 road to Coltishall. There is also a footpath from Hoveton & Wroxham main line station. There is a large car park, shop, ticket office, and toilets, as well as a secondhand bookshop. There are intermediate halts for the villages of Coltishall, Buxton and Brampton. Aylsham is the HQ of the line, and its station has two platforms and a large overall roof. It feels like a main line station! There is a ticket office, shop and large cafe, as well as ample parking. All the stations offer level access. A nice feature of the line is the cycle/footpath running alongside, which provides the opportunity to mix the train and walking. The relatively low speed means you have plenty of time to enjoy the lovely countryside as you travel. The services vary depending on the time of year: the website has an easy to use calendar to show the service for any given day. In the busiest holiday periods in August, there are up to 8 return trains a day, running hourly. Trains are made up of small coaches with individual 'compartments' seating up to 4 adults; the trains are too small to have toilets, but there are coaches adapted to take wheelchairs. They cannot carry bicycles. Trains can be hauled by either diesel locomotives, but most are steam hauled at peak times. The line has specially built steam locomotives, so, even though they are small, they're the real thing! Overall it makes for a great day out: we found staff welcoming and helpful, and we enjoyed lovely cakes in the cafe at Aylsham, though a fairly extensive lunch menu was available. Thoroughly recommended.

We recently took a trip on a steam train here when my parents-in-law came to stay (my father-in-law…read moreis a bit of a train enthusiast!). We travelled from Wroxham to Aylsham for about 45 minutes passing through a few smaller stations. The journey was picturesque, overlooking the norfolk countryside although at times the embankment was so high you couldn't see much. We stopped for a quick lunch at The Whistlestop Cafe at Aylsham before heading back again. The food here was fine and there were a few toys to keep young children amused and a bric-a-brac stall raising money for charity. My young daughter found several things she wanted! Adjoining the cafe is the gift shop but unfortunately we did not have time to look round here. It was a fun experience but was not overly exciting for me personally. Also, as we went in November it was fairly cold on the train and it's a fairly rattly ride. Not great for someone who likes their creature comforts although I'm sure others will rave about it!
