Take a step back in time and ride on a Victorian carousel when it returns to Norwich city centre later this year.
The carousel will be outside The Forum from December 15 2023 until January 1 2024 on weekdays from 11am to 7pm and weekends from 11am to 8pm (weather permitting).
It will be open daily and the only planned closure is on Christmas Day, with rides priced at £3pp.

It is one of the oldest surviving carousels in the country and it was built by Frederick Savage of King's Lynn in 1893.
It is 40ft in diameter with 36 horses and features polished twisted brass, hand-painted decoration, elaborate cut glass mirrors and the music is provided by an organ in the middle.
This carousel has also appeared in films such as Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
