A Siberian tiger at Banham Zoo, Norfolk.
A trip to the zoo
Perfect if you’re early on in your relationship or if you’re after a date that’s a little different. We’d recommend Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens for a more personal zoo experience or the bigger Banham Zoo near Attleborough, which has a special offer on big cat experience days for you and a loved one this Valentine’s Day.
Afternoon tea
A trendy way to enjoy your tea and cake, the afternoon tea culture has boomed in the last few years in Norfolk and makes the perfect day time date for new or long-term couples. Try the Assembly House on Theatre Street in Norwich for a luxury experience; if you like quirky and intimate, head on down to Biddy’s Tea Room in Norwich or Aylsham instead.
Norwich Riverside Walk
Norwich Riverside Walk
A quiet stroll down the Wensum River with a few quick stops to see some of Norwich’s most impressive historic landmarks is a romantic’s ideal Valentine’s Day date. You could even take a detour to see Norwich’s impressive cathedral in the Tombland area or visit the historic Norwich Lanes, where Dipples Norwich store is located alongside several boutique shops.
