Premium Review Wroxham Barns- Great family day out (544 words)

Wroxham Barns is situated approximately 10 miles from the city of Norwich. Follow the A1151 towards Wroxham, then follow the 'brown and white' tourist signs for 1.5 miles on the Tunstead Road. We always find it easy but we have been visiting for many years. We visit Wroxham barns approx 2-4 times a year, my recent visit was July 2006 on a School trip with my daughter. Between May and July many schools visit here during the week. 2006 opening times and costs: Open everyday 10 am to 5pm except Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day. Admission to Wroxham Barns is FREE. Entry to Junior Farm costs £2.85, under 3's go ...  Read the complete review

Wroxham Barns Craft Centre is, most definitely, a tourist attraction. You know the kind of place. It is tantilisingly advertised along all the approach roads by way of brown tourist signs - "Craft Centre --->". Many such signs are reknowned for attracting your attention whilst on a drive and causing you to go on an hour long detour because you become determined to find out where on earth the attraction is. Invariably, you arrive and the place is shut or is disappointing. Well, Wroxham Barns is some of these things. Situated not far from the Norfolk town of Wroxham, the barns are actually on a fairly main road and once you pick up ...  Read the complete review

If you enjoy seeing craftsmen at work then Wroxham Barns is a centre I can really recommend. This centre has been established in a collection of restored 18th Century barns in Hoveton, Norfolk. There are thirteen craft workshops, each with it's own craftsman where you can see a large selection of items being made, and have the opportunity of buying anything you may want. The craft barns are all situated around a large courtyard area which has a lot of seating available, so if you want to sit and wait why other members of the family look at a particular workshop then there are plenty of places to rest your legs. In the main barn there is a ...  Read the complete review
