With the new year upon us it is the perfect to try something new.
From the Norwich Soul Club to former Britain's Got Talent winner Jon Courtenay, there are plenty of things to do and see in Norwich this January.
Here are seven suggestions to get you thinking.
1. Lantern Light Underground Tour

This January, you can explore Norwich's medieval street in a new light on tours which show the darker side of the city's history.
Beneath Castle Meadow, check out the hidden street in a new light as story-telling tour guides take people on a journey below ground with just a lantern to light the way.
Groups of up to 12 will be plunged into darkness and venture down two flights of stairs with only a lantern to create an eerie experience.
They will then step into a genuine medieval street that was built in the old Castle Ditches which surrounded Norwich Castle and were eight metres deep.
The Lantern Light Underground Tour is suitable for all over the age of eight and lasts for an hour.
