We're that special place for the hopeless romantics, the madly in loves, the beautiful misfits that met amongst a flurry of magic sparks. We're that enchanting space that's perfect for your most enchanting love story, the kind that saw your ordinary life become a fairy tale without any dew drop of warning, your love bursting to life from a peck, a kiss, a hold of a hand, a look.

We're a wedding venue that captivates everyone and captures every moment. We're a rarity. A hidden gem in the heart of North Norfolk. A place that's a little different. A little more extraordinary. A place that dances with your curiosity, ensuring a cocktail of romance and elegance shimmers in every little detail.
Services
Gorgeous and picturesque. Charming and enchanting. Understated, quirky and coated in luxury. Elegant, exclusive and utterly extraordinary. The Thursford Garden Pavilion is nothing shy of stunning, a wedding venue that promises to make your soul flutter, heart skip a beat, eyes fizz as they try and hold onto every dazzling detail and, above all else, give your big day the most beautiful backdrop ever imagined.
Adam & Jack have worked at Norfolk's best restaurants, including including the Michelin starred Morston Hall. A family catering company based in the heart of the Norfolk countryside, devoted to providing the highest quality. Based in Norwich, they are ideally located to provide outside catering that will blow your mind.
From enchanting carousels to spellbinding gondolas, our collection of vintage fairground rides promises to be the last piece of your wedding puzzle. This is it. This is the place. This is where you'll get goosebumps, your wedding able to enjoy that something special you can't put your ring-bearing finger on.
Hidden in the breath-snatching countryside of North Norfolk, nothing would make more sense than offering you two of the most idyllic spots to exchange your vows in an al fresco ceremony.

We have the manicured lawns at the front of the Pavilion, absolutely perfect for any couples hoping to host a lavish bash surrounded by the gorgeous outdoors, or we have a private wedding garden still clinging onto its traditional cottage-style that provides a truly secluded place to whisper the words 'I do', the flowering borders and pretty flint work bursting with intimate romance.
There's something immeasurably romantic about saying the words "I do" in a rustic old barn, the words dancing around in the exposed beams and into the eaves; the whoops, claps and cheers of your teary-eyed guests echoing off the exposed brick walls to fill the space with euphoria; the cocktail of charm and nature adding to the million reasons to be happy.

This is my second time here this year it's very different from the first but it is so magical and wonderful my 5 year old and 2 year old was in absolute awe with everything they saw ! It is quite pricey ! The funfair was £24 for 20 tokens and most of them are 2 tokens each my 2 year old needed an adult assisting him on most of them too which ment that's 6 tokens on 1 ride , they had a outside grill vendor so there was burgers and hotdogs on offer there was a hot chocolate vendor too which was yummy!!
There is a indoor cafe plus a hot food pavilion too.
There is a corner shop I didn't enter so

Such a wonderful experience. This is our second visit in about 15 years. The choir, dancers and singers are fantastic and the comedian, acrobats and jugglers made this an unforgettable variety performance only eclipsed by the decorations

Went to the Magical journey of light and it didn't disappoint. We went with our 3 children (11,6 &2) and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The lights outside were amazing and my favourite part. The walk through inside was magical, the children enjoyed looking at all the characters. Cafe was nice with plenty of space. Vintage funfair was cute don't forget your pennies for the tokens for the rides. Food and drink also outside. Will definitely go again next year.

Great evening out to get into the festive mood! Our 17 month old had a look of awe glued to his face for the whole night.
We only did the magical journey as we felt he would not have the attention span for the spectacular show, but it was still a lovely experience and we will definitely be going again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Thursford with our little man. The theming of both the indoor and outdoor areas were incredible and provided an awesome sensory experience.
There was also rides for the little man to enjoy and various places to stop of for refreshments.
We will definitely be visiting again next year

Thursford spectacular..... What can I say......wow wow wow wow.
Worth every penny!
Booked this for my birthday treat, heard it was good but no it was amazing, the acts, singers, dancers, decorations and lights all amazing.
We didn't book the enchanted walk but got tickets when we got there. We loved walking around and could have spent longer there. We were at the evening performance so it was dark...and cold outside.
There are plenty of guides to let you know where to go and answer any questions. We didn't eat or drink there but there are places to do so and able to get mini tubs of ice cream

Brilliant place, superbe show! 3 hours of it and not bored, that's very unlike me! Couldn't fault anything, performers, musicians, sound and light show, all were top. However, should you wish to visit the Fantasy Land, it'll cost you £10 extra if you have a ticket for the show, and £18 without, which seems a bit stiff...

Wow what a show. I'm going to call it a hidden gem for anyone under 70. It's a misconception that it's only for old folks even though 90% looked 70 plus. The show was of the highest quality, if you haven't seen it then you've missing out on a show worthy of any west end show.

We had a light lunch before the matinée performance of the Christmas Spectacular. Very friendly, helpful staff, nice food and reasonably priced. Thoroughly recommend the mince pies and mulled wine.

We got married at this stunning venue on Saturday, our guests had no idea they would be riding a carousel on our wedding day, the weather was beautiful, the grounds were on point and Emma along with her team… who looked after us in the lead up to and on the day were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble and Emma’s attention to every detail we requested was truly superb, thank you Thursford for giving us the best day of our lives that we will remember forever and always

Charlie and his team at Thursford Garden Pavillion were supremely professional and helped to make our wedding day in June 2017 so special. From our initial meeting through to the day itself, the team were fantastic at communicating with us. We had a number of small detail changes in the run up to the day itself and Charlie was very accommodating… to these. So many friends and family commented on the day how amazing the venue was and that the carousel rides had lent a fairytale edge to proceedings. The lighting in the trees outside the Pavillion in the evening were sensational and served
