The mystical Lantern Light Underground Tour is returning to Norwich this winter. 

The experience, which first ran in January 2022, invites visitors to explore the city's hidden areas with just a lantern to guide them.

An expert storyteller will guide attendees down two flights of stairs in total darkness, uncovering secrets dating back to the 15th century.

The groups of up to 12 will then step into a hidden medieval 'street'.

The street is in the Castle Ditches around Norwich Castle and lies eight metres below the surface.

Through the glow of the lanterns, groups can discover traditional features, including prison cells, cottages, and secret tunnels.

The Lantern Light Tour, organised by the Shoebox Experiences, is a limited-time adaptation of the Hidden Light Tour which has run since 2016.

The Lantern Light Tour will return on selected evenings between the end of October and Christmas.

Adult tickets cost £15 and children's (aged eight to twelve) cost £8.
