<p>The Thursford&nbsp;Christmas Spectacular&nbsp;is the big daddy of festive shindigs in Norfolk and for good reason – it’s the biggest show of its kind in Europe, with a cast of 130 people and three hours of singing, dancing, music and comedy (and some very glitzy costumes). Last year’s outing was its biggest to date, though it consistently attracts people from all over the country. In 2024 it’s back from&nbsp;<strong>Fri 8 Nov</strong>&nbsp;–&nbsp;<strong>Mon 23 Dec</strong>&nbsp;– there are 2pm and 7pm showings, and it’s suitable for over-eights.</p>
