We start the day at Olde Time who have four purpose-built showrooms which house over 500 antique clocks, barometers, scientific instruments and much, much more. Set in the beautiful countryside of Norfolk this will be a fascinating morning learning more about the world of clocks with Paul Nunn.

There will also be light refreshments which will keep us going as we wander around the fabulous showrooms. From here we will take the twenty-minute drive to award-winning Peter Beales Roses. Founded in 1968, Peter Beales Roses has grown to become a world-renowned authority on classic roses.

The business was born from a passion for preserving traditional and rare rose varieties, and that same commitment continues to thrive today. The collection includes thousands of roses, from timeless Old Roses to contemporary climbers and shrub roses, all nurtured with the same dedication to quality. Why not take a short weekend break in Norfolk there is lots to see and do.
