Eastlife Summer 2020 (Web)
Dear Reader, I wanted to let you know as a team here at Eastlife, we’ve been working hard during these uncertain times. We are lucky enough to be able to work from home on our laptops and are passionate about being your guide to the East. Therefore, after much discussion we decided to proceed with our summer issue. Though circumstances are uncertain at the time of print as COVID-19 hurls towards its peak, the articles in this magazine are there to offer some light relief and distraction. The articles aim to inspire you for happier times ahead. Just know that we will travel again, we’ll dance at festivals and concerts, we’ll dine out with friends and our glorious coastline will be waiting for us when this is over. As an independent publishing company, we rely on our wonderful advertisers to create a great read and we continue to support them through this difficult time. We’ll continue posting online at www.eastlife.co.uk and you can follow us on our social media platforms for relevant content during this time. Stay home, stay safe and we’ll see you on the other side!

10 Things
to do in
Norwich
A visit to Norwich will bring you to the very heart of East
Anglia, one of the finest heritage cities in the country
where you’ll discover over 1,000 years of history, a buzzing
cultural scene and superb shopping destination. A chic
city destination, Norwich is a great place to visit for a day or
weekend stay year-round.
Norwich has over 1,500 historic buildings within its walls
and the city’s compact scale means you can easily explore
on foot. You’ll find more medieval churches than any other
city north of the Alps within the city’s pretty medieval streets
such as the wonderfully preserved Elm Hill with its cobbles
and half-timbered houses.
Here are 10 things you simply must do when you visit:
Norwich Cathedral
The beautiful Norwich Cathedral is the most complete
Norman Cathedral in England. Visitors can discover 900
years of history with a wander around the Cathedral
building, monastic Cloisters and view fascinating
exhibitions. Don’t leave without a walk around the tranquil
herb and Japanese Gardens. www.cathedral.org.uk
Norwich Castle
The iconic Norwich Castle Museum & Art Gallery stands
proud over the city and offers both permanent and visiting
exhibitions. Lunchtime concerts can be enjoyed in the
delightful music room at the Assembly House.

Dragon Hall
Dragon Hall, with its superb dragon crown-post roof, is the
only medieval trading hall known to survive in Western
Europe and a historical treasure. Home to the National
Centre for Writing, it is not open to the public on a daily
basis, but tours are available on the first and third Monday
of each month at 2pm. www.dragonhallnorwich.org.uk
The Plantation Garden
Tucked away but well worth seeking out, The Plantation
Garden is a wonderfully restored late Victorian town garden
with a gothic fountain, rustic bridge and Italianate terrace.
2020 marks the 40th anniversary of The Plantation Garden
Preservation Trust. There’ll be a programme of events to
celebrate throughout the summer.
