We’ve been gathering all the info for Summer Holiday Classes & Groups in Norwich so you can see what they are up to over the summer. We’ve also included the details of some playgroups we’ve found that are still running over the summer.
Just because the schools are on holiday doesn’t mean the little ones have to miss out!
