The Assembly House is a beautiful Grade I Georgian building in the heart of the city centre; just steps from shopping, attractions and culture venues. This October, The Assembly House unveiled four brand new bedrooms which mark a significant development in the House’s history. A collaboration between Richard Hughes, Iain Wilson and The Assembly House Trust, these four beautiful bedrooms have been created under the talented eye of interior designer to the stars, Annabel Grey.
The new bedrooms will ensure this stunning wing is restored for generations to come, having been taken from dilapidation to glamour in a scheme which has been years in the making. There’s one accessible bedroom on the ground floor with a private outdoor terrace, and many of the rooms come with a garden or balcony. So, what are you waiting for? Get booking to be one of the first people to stay in these stunning new rooms.

Si5 Spy Missions is an exciting spy themed action-adventure centre for families, friends, colleagues, and children aged six and above. The new Castle Quarter attraction is the first Si5 Spy Missions centre in Norfolk. This is an escape room with a difference!

The aim – to infiltrate the Naval ship and stop a deadly missile being launched, all without getting caught. Along the route, new challenges are presented, as everyone works together to get safely back to base with seconds to spare.
Test your mettle, and see if you’d make it as a Royal Marine, in these games which test your skills under pressure!Each group of up to 12 people sets off ten minutes apart, making the scenario feel very real. An Si5 guide is on hand to provide assistance along the way. £14 per player, families £60 (up to 6 people).

Textile Treasures (23 October – 20 February) presents some of the best-loved textiles in Norwich Castle’s nationally important Costume and Textile collection. The exhibition explores local connections and personal histories through textiles created to provide comfort, care and as a form of self-expression.
The exhibition includes extraordinary examples of patchwork, applique, and embroidery – techniques traditionally used to make bedcovers. The thirty or so pieces on show combine incredible artistry with emotional resonance which offer an insight into the lives of ordinary people.
The textiles are presented on open display, not behind glass, offering visitors a uniquely intimate view of pieces which are not usually on show to the public. With themes of collaborative creativity, gift-giving, recycling, friendship, family and love, the exhibition is even more relevant after the experiences of the past year. FREE with general admission tickets from £6.70.
