A magical dining experience, which sells out every year, is returning to Norwich this Christmas and booking is now open.

Private hire igloos will pop up on the front lawn of The Assembly House in Theatre Street from November 14 2024 until January 2 2025.

The igloos, surrounded by Christmas trees, are heated, decorated with fairy lights and have speakers for your own music.
