Looking for something to do in Norfolk this December? Well look no further. We have done the hard work for you and hunted down the best things to do so you can really get into the Christmas spirit for the big day.

Where Should I Take the Family?

There really is an endless amount of things to do in Norfolk this Christmas. From evenings out to family fun days. We have picked just a few of our favourites.

  1. Roarr adventure xmas perfect for children of any age, including those of us who are still a child at heart. With a Santas grotto for the kids and ice skating for the adults it really is fun for the whole family. Plus after 4:30pm you can get in for free!
  2. You can't get more Norfolk than setting sail down the Broads. Take a festive Santa Cruise a long the broads starting at Wroxham. While under 3s get a goodie bag and a visit from Santa the adults all get a glass of mulled wine to enjoy while cruising the broads and watching nature go by. 
  3. The fun packed Norwich Winter Wonderland is back for another year. Rides, food and skating there's something for everything.

 

Where Should I Take the Biggest Christmas Fan?

We have picked the creme de la creme of Christmas fun. You can't walk away from these events without experiencing pure Christmas Joy.

  1. The Thursford Christmas Spectacular. A yearly tradition that is worth the hype. With a winter wonderland walkthrough and the most magical and festive show it is truly the perfect way to spend a December evening.
  2. With so many Pantomimes going on across the county you're spoilt for choice. From Great Yarmouth to Kings Lynn you have no excuses. The biggest in the county would be Norwich Theatre Royal's Sleeping Beauty: The Fairy's Tale with Coronation Street’s Beverley Callard and West End Star Millie O'Connell in the roles of the Evil Queen and Sleeping Beauty respectively it's one you won't want to miss.
  3. Ever heard of a Christmas circus? Well until the 7th January you can experience just that. At Great Yarmouth's Hippodrome their circus and water spectacular has a festive twist.

     What’s New?

    We’re delighted to introduce our exclusive jewellery collaboration with Hiho Silver, a brand celebrated for its beautifully crafted sterling silver designs. Bringing together Hiho’s renowned craftsmanship and our signature block colour style, this limited edition collection features two timeless pieces designed to be worn and loved every day.

    The Cherry Roller Bangle

    The Exclusive Sterling Silver Hiho x Whale of a Time Cherry Roller Bangle makes a striking statement. Handcrafted from solid sterling silver, it features enamel roller beads in our iconic Suffolk red and navy, along with a whale-tail bead at its centre — a nod to our Norfolk coastal roots.

    The Dinky Charms Necklace

    The Exclusive Sterling Silver Hiho x Whale of a Time Dinky Charms Necklace is a delicate everyday piece with subtle WOAT charm. Crafted in sterling silver, it’s perfect worn alone for understated elegance or layered with your favourite necklaces for a relaxed coastal look.

    Layer with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece

    On cooler coastal days, the Cherry Roller Bangle adds a subtle touch of colour and craftsmanship when worn with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece. The rich red and navy enamel beads echo the classic country and coastal colour palette that Whale of a Time is known for. Paired with the soft, practical warmth of the Weybourne fleece, this sterling silver bangle creates a stylish yet relaxed outfit perfect for seaside walks, countryside adventures or casual weekends.

    Comfort & Style with the Penzance Puffer Jacket

    When the temperature drops, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time jewellery collection adds a refined finishing touch to cosy layers like the Penzance Puffer Jacket. The sleek sterling silver of the Dinky Charms Necklace contrasts beautifully with the practical warmth of the puffer jacket, creating a balance of function and style. It’s an ideal pairing for coastal days out, combining timeless jewellery with one of Whale of a Time’s most versatile outerwear pieces.

    Style with the Torbay Deck Shirt

    For super easy style, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time Dinky Charms Necklace pairs beautifully with the Torbay Deck Shirt. The clean lines and classic maritime feel of the deck shirt complement the delicate sterling silver necklace perfectly, creating a timeless look inspired by days spent by the sea. Whether layered over a tee or worn on its own, the Torbay Deck Shirt and this elegant necklace make an easy everyday combination that captures the relaxed spirit of coastal living.

    Everyday Comfort with the Suffolk Quarter Zip Sweatshirt

    For dressing your go-to everyday wear, the Cherry Roller Bangle and Dinky Necklace work perfectly with the Suffolk Quarter Zip Sweatshirt. The sweatshirt’s classic country-meets-coast style pairs effortlessly with the handcrafted sterling silver aspects of the collection, while the signature red and navy enamel rollers subtly echo the brand’s heritage colour palette. It’s an easy way to elevate a casual outfit while keeping the comfortable, laid-back feel that defines the Whale of a Time lifestyle.

    Elegant, timeless and crafted to last, both pieces capture the spirit of Whale of a Time perfectly.
