1. A trip to Eaton Park
One of Norwich’s most historical parks, Eaton Park is open 365 days a year and entry to the park is free.
Once inside there are 80 acres to enjoy which include a café, a boat pond, crazy golf and putting green, playground, skatepark, outdoor table tennis and more.
And the park even has a miniature railway for families of all ages to ride on at a small cost.
