Across Norfolk, there is a great tradition of live shows that range from major outdoor concerts, through to small but popular amateur dramatic shows that have a loyal following and seaside spectaculars.
If you come up to the county over the Christmas period, staying in one of the Norfolk boutique hotels is a wonderful experience.
But one thing you must take in is a seasonal trip to the pantomime.
The Theatre Royal in Norwich hosts an ever-popular panto but is also a great auditorium for a wide range of shows throughout the year including dance, West End-style performances, comedy and drama.
But many of the market towns have good theatres, along with the coastal resorts.
Cromer, for example, has a marvelous theatre at the end of the pier and every summer stages a seasonal show that is popular with locals and visitors alike.
With several Norfolk pubs or Norfolk restaurants close by, there's no shortage of places to have a drink before or after the performance or have a tasty dinner and combine it with a night out at the theatre.
Most North Norfolk hotels will have details of local theatres, current and future presentations and where to get tickets from, so it's easy to take in a show during a break in Norfolk.
In recent years, Norfolk has successfully hosted a number of major outdoor concerts.
The natural arena at Thetford Forest hosts a series of summer pop concerts with people like Jamie Cullum, Van Morrison and The Doves appearing while Holkham Hall has seen stars such as Elton John perform in the shadow of one of Norfolk's best-known stately homes.
Among the pioneers of such outdoor concerts has been the National Trust with its series of concerts at Blickling Hall which has seen Simply Red, Bryan Ferry and Tom Jones on the bill over the past few years.
A great tradition has been to take a picnic, table and chairs, along with a bottle of wine or Champagne, and sit and dine al fresco while enjoying the live music on a pleasant summer evening in a magical setting.
It's one of Norfolk's perfect experiences.
