For
those people looking for something a little different,
Events Plus has developed a series of culturally themed
breaks and packages based around hobbies and lifestyle
interests. This approach offers a new dimension to the
visitor experience as well as an alternative to the
popular but more established standard programmes. Norwich
and Norfolk has many hidden treasures amidst its undulating
yet contrasting scenery. Our cultural and thematic packages
aim to bring these to life in a way that excites the
imagination. So let us show you Norfolk's famous stately
homes and gardens, its industrial and agricultural heritage,
and its legendary links with sea and water and of course
its greatest hero, Admiral Lord Nelson. This and much
more will give a stimulating insight into the county's
unique and distinctive character.
