Experience the magic of the festive season on this enchanting short break to Norfolk, combining Christmas shopping, charming market towns, and the unforgettable Thursford Christmas Spectacular.
Your journey begins in the historic town of King's Lynn, where you’ll stay at the welcoming The King's Head Hotel. This elegant hotel, steeped in history, offers a comfortable and characterful base right in the heart of the town. With its timber-framed façade and traditional charm, it perfectly reflects the heritage of this once-thriving medieval port.
You’ll have free time to explore King’s Lynn at your leisure, making it ideal for some Christmas shopping. Wander through its cobbled streets, browse a mix of well-known high street stores and independent boutiques, and soak up the festive atmosphere. Don’t miss the stunning historic landmarks such as the Custom House and the Tuesday Market Place, beautifully decorated during the holiday season.
The following day, we travel to the delightful Georgian town of Holt. Known for its picturesque streets and unique charm, Holt is a haven for boutique shopping. Independent shops, art galleries, and cosy cafés line the town, offering the perfect opportunity to pick up special gifts and enjoy a relaxed morning in a quintessentially English setting.
Later, the highlight of your trip awaits as we head to the spectacular Thursford for the world-famous Christmas show. The Thursford Christmas Spectacular is a dazzling celebration of music, dance, and festive cheer, featuring a cast of hundreds, incredible costumes, and a mix of traditional and contemporary performances.

Duke's Head Hotel, Kings Lynn
There can be few more imposing hotels in the east of England than the Dukes Head. Its striking powder-blue façade, a study in Georgian elegance, is as much a part of King’s Lynn’s Tuesday Market Place as the stalls that have traded here for generations. It’s the quintessential market town hotel – a handsome hostelry with history at every turn, restored and restyled for the discerning twenty-first century traveller. Stay here and you’ll join quite a guest list. Political icons; princesses; the who’s who of King’s Lynn’s past – the Dukes Head has played host to them all. Today, period charm meets contemporary chic, spacious rooms envelope you in comfort, and the very best local produce is served – in an acclaimed restaurant and a buzzing new bar.
