What age restrictions are there on each ticket option?

Adult – age 16+. Senior – age 66+, Child age 3-15, Infant age 0-2, Family 2 adults & 2 children.

Can I pay on the gate?

Whilst we hope to have some tickets available for sale on the gate we strongly recommend booking in advance to guarantee admission and take advantage of the discounted rates & fast-track entry.

Due to the popularity of our events, we sometimes have to close ticket sales early, once we have reached capacity limitations, leaving none available on the gate.

If you plan to wait and see if we have tickets available for sale on the gate, please check our website prior to travelling to the event to avoid a wasted journey.

What is a Twilight ticket?

Twilight tickets are reduced price entry tickets for people wishing to arrive during the last 3 hours of each day. These tickets offer a budget friendly way to enjoy everything the fair has offer, and also see the venue lit with festive lighting.

Is there a booking fee?

Yes, in order to cover payment and ticket processing fees a small booking fee of £1.50 is added per order.

Can I go inside Kimberley Hall?

Yes, Kimberley Hall will be serving refreshments from the West Wing, exclusively for visitors to the Fair, on a walk-in only basis.
Please note, there are no stalls situated within Kimberley Hall.  

Is there car parking?

Yes, free parking is available for all visitors to the Fair. 

Please note that parking is on grass which naturally can be uneven underfoot.

Please take care when navigating the carpark and wear appropriate footwear.

Although we install a network of floodlights to illuminate the carpark, some areas may be dimly lit. Bringing a torch is recommended if you are arriving or leaving the Fair after dark.

Is there disabled parking?

Yes, please display your Blue Badge and inform stewards who will direct you to the disabled parking area, which will be as  close to the event entrance as possible.

Please note that parking is on grass which naturally can be uneven underfoot.

Please take care when navigating the carpark and wear appropriate footwear.

Although we install a network of floodlights to illuminate the carpark, some areas may be dimly lit. Bringing a torch is recommended if you are arriving or leaving the Fair after dark.

Is the event wheelchair friendly?

We want everyone that attends our events to have a positive experience and try to make them as accessible as feasibly possible.

The event is all on one level and we create tracked pathways across grass areas, where this allows and the shopping marquees all have hard flooring with an access ramp on one of the entrances.
However, the existing main pathways that run throughout the grounds are all gravel, which can be problematic for some wheelchair users, especially those with a smaller wheel width. If you usually find gravel difficult, we would regrettably not recommend you attending the event for your own comfort. Due to the nature of the venue there are also some areas with uneven ground. 

Do you offer a discount for carers?

Yes, carers can gain free entry to the Norfolk County Christmas Fair when accompanying the ticket holder that they care for.

In order to book a carer ticket, one of the following documents need to be uploaded at point of sale:

  • A valid blue badge
  • Allowance book or letter confirming entitlement to Disability Living Allowance (DLA) or Personal Independence Payments (PIP)
  • Attendance Allowance or Carer’s Allowance Letter of Award
  • Incapacity Benefit books or confirmation letter of Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or confirmation letter
  • Certificate of Visual Impairment (CVI) or BD8
  • Access Card

Are dogs permitted at the event?

Yes, well behaved dogs on a short lead are permitted at the event.

Will food & drink be available?

Yes, a wide variety of quality food and drink options will be available to enjoy on site. Get in the Christmas spirit with festive tipples, warming hot drinks, German sausages, roasted chestnuts and delicious, sweet treats plus a selection of high quality food stalls.

Will Father Christmas be attending?

No, for 2026 Santa will not be attending the Norfolk County Christmas Fair.

However, our stilt walkers are always popular with visitors of all ages and are happy to pose for photo opportunities. Plus, Ferris Wheel (weather permitting), Owl Experience, Marshmallow Toasting Pit, Live Music & more.
