Are you missing visiting all your favourite Norfolk and Suffolk attractions?
It simply isn’t possible to enjoy a real-life Great Day Out in Norfolk or Suffolk at the moment. It is far more important that we all stay at home. However, while you are not able to visit them, many of our wonderful attractions are working hard to bring you entertainment, escapism and educational activities to inspire and delight you at home. (For those of you who are currently learning at home, some of these will be especially useful.) We’re sharing lots of posts from our attraction members every day on our Facebook page
https://www.facebook.com/NorfolkandSuffolkGreatDaysOut/
but we have also gathered many together here (and we’ll add to it all the time as we get more information from our attractions). Enjoy!
Today we look at the resources available from our Animal, Wildlife and Zoo Attractions. More will follow in the coming days…
