Winter Wonderland is running at the Norfolk Showground until January 3 with rides and a huge real ice rink - but is it worth the trip?
The festive event has come to the Norwich area following a successful few years in Stoke-on-Trent.
I headed there with some friends visiting from London on Sunday afternoon and it was an easy taxi ride from the city.
It can also be accessed by bus or there is free parking, though a friend who had gone before said it was quite muddy as it was all on a field so make sure to wear sturdy shoes if coming by car - the site itself was fine.
It took less than five minutes to get through the entrance, which costs £4 online or £5 on the day, with under 4s free.
We were met by a mini Christmas market housed in log cabins and at the centre of this was a bratwurst kiosk, with a giant hot plate stacked with sizzling sausages and onions which smelt amazing.
The items on offer from the stalls included Christmas decorations, fudge and cheeses.
These were charming, though it would have been nice to have a few more local businesses - the only name I recognised was sweet treat stall And Eat It.
The stalls then opened out into a kaleidoscope of colour with loads of rides, ranging from the Crazy Mouse rollercoaster to a fun house and slides for younger children.
You could either buy ride credits with cash from a booth or pay by card at the attractions.
We went straight to the giant observation wheel at the back (£5 each), which boasted panoramic views of the site.
It would have been great if wristbands were available with access to multiple rides for a reduced rate to make it cheaper for families.
However, there were loads of arcade machines, with games like air hockey for £1 a pop, and fairground games like darts and hook-a-duck if you do not want to spend as much.
There was plenty of choice in terms of food, ranging from gyros to churros, and the snowglobe bar served mulled wine for £6 a cup which seemed fairly reasonable.
While I didn't go ice skating (£10.50-£14.50 with pre-booking advised) I took a look inside the marquee and people seemed to be having a lovely time and there were lots of smiling faces around Santa's Grotto too.
Overall, I had a really festive few hours out and there are ways to have fun there without spending a fortune.
