Join us on a visit to The Thursford Spectacular, a world-renowned Christmas variety show held annually in an otherwise sleepy village in Norfolk. Known for its extravagant performances, it combines stunning music, dance, and theatre with a magical festive atmosphere. Featuring a huge cast of talented singers, dancers, and musicians – many from West End stages - this fast-moving three-hour celebration of the season artfully combines famous chart-toppers performed with more traditional carols and year-round favourites. The Spectacular has become a highlight of the holiday season, offering audiences a memorable experience with its blend of traditional Christmas themes and dazzling entertainment, drawing visitors from all over the world. Woods are proud to host four Thursford holidays this year, each lasting four days and featuring a different hotel and itinerary.
Day 1 We travel to our hotel in Northern Norfolk via the pretty town of Ely.
Day 2 Thursford Spectacular! After a relaxed breakfast we travel to Thursford. We arrive with time to get lunch and visit the shops before the afternoon performance.
Day 3 After breakfast we head out for a ride on one of the majestic heritage engines of the Bure Valley railway. We then have free time in Norwich for the afternoon.
Day 4 We return home with a stop in Cambridge before returning to the local area and our taxis home.
In the village of Old Hunstanton, with lawns that stretch down to the seashore, this hotel promises old world charm complemented by personal service. Next door is the Ancient Mariner Inn, renowned for its choice of real ales and wines. The 40 en-suite bedrooms have TV, telephone, WiFi, hairdryer and hospitality tray. The hotel has a lift, but not to every room. This tour includes a journey on the Bure Valley Railway.
