(10 Posts)It's my sister in law's 50th in September, and her daughter's 21st. They want to have a family get together (12 people ranging from 10 to 75) and have left it extremely last minute to organise anything.
It needs to be based in the East of England - Cambridgeshire / Norfolk / Suffolk - and accommodate everyone for a weekend.
The only thing they keep coming back to is Center Parks at Elvedon, but the grandparents aren't keen and it is eye wateringly expensive, as we'll need 2 or 3 lodges and we'll be paying for a night we won't use as most of us need to be back at work/school on Monday.
Any amazing, not too pricey, ideas would be very gratefully received as we seem to be going in circles. SIL doesn't want to spend a fortune as she'd really just like to go away for a swanky weekend with her DP, but the 21 year old wants a family weekend as she's away at uni and doesn't see us all very often.
Have you looked on Air BnB ?
Post this in “ Chat”, Lots of people will know of an AirBNB in those counties.
I looked at windmills for my big party. There were a lot that had several lovely rooms and others that did rooms p.us camping for bigger parties, Might be short notice but you’ll probably get a better deal,
Suggest Norfolk Broads, you can stay on 2 boats, stop at pubs for food
Look at The Waverney river/ water centre, they have hotel rooms, wooden lodges, boats, wooden pods
Not far from Great Yarmouth for family night at the races ! Or lots of other entertainment there too
Or stay at Wroxham & go on boats
I've also stayed at Blakeney, you can go on seal watching trip
I've stayed at Cley windmill, expensive. There's a steam train at Sheringham
Orford there is a dinner boat trip from the Quay. On Lady Florence boat
Get ferry from Harwich to Amsterdam
Norwich cathedral currently has a helter skelter inside the building ! Beat that ?
Potters holidays.com I've not been, but know some people who have
Potters resort in Norfolk
Perfect for all ages everyone will have a great time
We love it
