A beautiful Christmas Tree will adorn the Atrium throughout December - don't forget to come and get your festive photos and some sELFies... sorry.

Love your dog? Love Christmas? Well this is for you. Your dog can join in on the festive fun too, and meet Santa Woof Woof in Santa's Grotto for Dogs. Bring your beloved pooch to Santa’s Grotto for Dogs at The Forum. Pose for a family ‘pawtrait’ and help raise money for the local RSPCA Norwich. Come along and enjoy this very silly festive Forum tradition, canine costumes are encouraged! For just one day only!

The stunning traditional Christmas Carousel will be back in time for the Christmas holidays too. Treat yourself to a magical ride on a traditional Victorian carousel. The presence of the famous carousel makes for stunning and cheerful views, especially when enjoying a meal at Pizza Express or a beverage in Café Bar Marzano.

Spend a night with Elvis and The Blue Sueders, comedian and compere Olly Day and 'smooth as silk' crooner Dale Bullimore. This festive show is now in its 15th year and packed with festive classics to get you in the spirit. There will be an auction and raffle, all raising funds for YMCA Norfolk, Keeping Abreast and Eves Hill Veg Company. Tickets £25 and are selling fast!
