Christmas at Poppyland

Why not escape to the north Norfolk coast for a week or a short break over the festive period?  We still have some availability in our cottages over Christmas, so come and enjoy a walk on the  beach Christmas morning or join in with the  Boxing day swim, then back to sit in front of a roaring fire.

The cottages will be decorated with a tree and trimmings,  mince pies and mulled wine will be provided for  your arrival.

Whats on in the lead up to Christmas

Deepdale Christmas market.  With over 50 stalls this  market is held over the weekend of the 1st and 2nd of December, so stock up on those little extras you can’t find anywhere else.

Catch the Santa special on the Poppyline from Sheringham to Weybourne  where father christmas will be waiting by the fire.  This is a wonderful experience which many families have enjoyed over the years with their children. The exciting journey on the steam train and the thought of father Christmas  in his grotto really gets you in the festive mood.

 

Christmas Seaside Special has been held on Cromer Pier for several years and this year is running from 3rd December to 31st December. The show is packed with fun, song and dance creating  a spectacular show for all the family.

National Trust 12 days of Christmas.   For several weekends in December, Blickling estate is offering a traditional Christmas experience.  The house and gardens will be open, Christmas trees, wreaths and greenery will be for sale.
