By Butlers in the Buff · From £35pp · We come to you
Norwich is East Anglia's most vibrant city, a compact, walkable place packed with independent cafes, bars and restaurants in the lanes around the Cathedral and Castle. It's well-supplied with large self-catering houses for group hire, and our mixologists cover Norwich and the surrounding Norfolk area for private cocktail masterclasses.
Norwich is one of the UK's most underrated cities, a medieval treasure that has reinvented itself as one of England's most independent-minded and culturally rich urban destinations. The Norwich Lanes, a network of medieval alleys around the market, have more independent retailers per head than almost any UK city. The Cathedral Close, with its 15th-century Erpingham Gate and stunning Norman cathedral, is one of the finest in England. The Golden Triangle neighbourhood is Norwich's bohemian heartland, brilliant for brunch, independent cafés and vintage shopping.
