Yun-Ling wants her annual theme park trip, therefore will be closed bank holiday Monday, 25th May and will return to normal opening hours on Tuesday.

It's going to be a very hot weekend so please enjoy the sunshine responsibly. Check out the Norfolk Resilience Forum site for lots of information on how to stay cool and safe: www.norfolkprepared.gov.uk

Join us for Just A Cuppa, every Tuesday 10:30am-12pm. Pop in for a cup of tea or coffee and chance to chat and connect with others.

We seriously don't recommend a cup this big (and other branded mugs are probably available). Yun-Ling was in and out of the loo constantly for a whole 2 days after drinking it, and she was so full of caffeine she didn't sleep for a week!

Join us for Dino Crafts on Wednesday 27th May at 3.00pm. Create your own T-Rex or Brontosaurus and let them roam!
