March Break 2020 in Norfolk County
March Break is almost here - can you believe it?! We’re parents too at Mummery & Co, and we are right there with you wondering what we can do with our little darlings while they’re off for the week. Our kids range in age from 7 - 15 and while not all events are going to please all kids, we’ve put together a list of (mostly) local things to do if you aren’t able to get really far away. Some are drop off camp style and some are things you can do as a family if you have some time away from work to hang out and listen to them complain they’re bored ;).
Whatever you do (or don’t do) we hope this compilation makes your life a little easier…!

While the King is away, the people of England suffer under the oppressive rule of his tax-happy brother, Prince John. Only a straight arrow like Robin Hood, the best archer in the land, can save England! By stealing from the rich and giving back to the poor, Robin keeps the spirit of justice alive with the help of a few friends along the way, including Maid Marian, Friar Tuck, and Little John. But what if the Prince and the dreaded Sheriff of Nottingham lay a trap for our hero? With their trademark zany humour and fun, DuffleBag hits the mark with this on-target tale of derring-do!
