Food scene
Marriott's Warehouse is thought to have been built in its present form by local merchant Thomas Clayborne in around 1580 as a warehouse for corn, salt and wine, although the site was a riverside quay by 1300 and some of the oldest timbers in the building date back to this time. King's Lynn was an important trading port in the medieval Hanseatic League, which provided a major link between merchants and towns around the North Sea and the Baltic for several centuries. King's Lynn still has a number of historic buildings connected with that trade. Marriott's Warehouse was restored in the late 1990s and is a Grade II listed building.
Marriott's Warehouse Cafe and Restaurant are passionate about good fresh local food, the wonderful waterfront and heritage of King's Lynn as well as good company and great service.Open from 10am every day, the perfect place for meals, snacks and drinks, with a strong emphasis on the wealth and variety of local meat, fish and seasonal produce.
Enjoy a meal or a snack in the ground-floor cafe/restaurant, soak up the sun on the quay-side outdoor tables or take in the stunning views across the river from the first-floor bar area.
The Trustees of the building maintain an exhibition area on the first floor, focused on the town's historic buildings. The second floor is an ideal venue for meetings, lectures and functions in King's Lynn.
Even if you live locally, you might still be surprised by the beautiful old building and its incredible views. For those visiting from further afield, Marriott's Warehouse provides an ideal base for exploring the old town of King's Lynn.

Sightseeing
Brim full of history and with a vibrant town centre, King’s Lynn is the ideal destination to spend a few nights, enjoying the superb mix of history, shopping and entertainment on offer.
The Hanseatic town of King’s Lynn was one of England’s most important ports from as early as the 12th century and this maritime past is still very much in evidence today. Fine old merchants’ houses stretch down to the river between cobbled lanes and the elegant Custom House overlooks the harbour. The town’s heritage is reflected in an amazing array of historic buildings and at two magnificent market places: Saturday Market Place, where St Margaret’s Church , designated as a Minster Church in 2011 by the Bishop of Norwich, is surrounded by splendid buildings and Tuesday Market Place, quite possibly one of England’s grandest squares.
Visitors can discover the story of King’s Lynn by visiting a host of heritage sites and attractions, best discovered with the help of the free guide Discover King’s Lynn or by joining a guided tour. The town’s Hanseatic history and trading links with Europe can be discovered on the self-guided Hanse Trail. The story of the town’s maritime trade, its fishing communities and its famous navigators can be explored on the Maritime Trail, or take a trip on the King’s Lynn ferry to see the maritime landscape of the King’s Lynn quayside and town from the banks of West Lynn.
Alternatively, you can embark on a town-based trail to trace the journey of pilgrims who passed through Lynn on their way to the Shrine of Our Lady at Walsingham in medieval times.
King’s Lynn offers a fine programme of cultural and entertainment events and facilities including the impressive live entertainment venue of the Alive Corn Exchange, performances and special events at the King’s Lynn Arts Centre and the Majestic Cinema.

The elegant resort of Hunstanton is the ideal base to enjoy Norfolk’s superb coastline. Hunstanton, or ‘Hunston’ as it is known locally, is renowned for its unique striped cliffs and magnificent sunsets, made special by its position as the only west-facing resort on the East coast.
The seaside town began as a purposely-built resort in 1846 and retains its Victorian charm and character to this day, remaining a popular holiday destination for visitors of all ages. From buzzing family activities such as Crazy Golf, Pitch-and-Putt, and the Oasis Leisure Centre to the tranquil Esplanade Gardens there is something for everyone. The town’s array of gardens are especially delightful during the Spring and summer months, and you can follow a self-guided Horticultural Trail to make sure you experience them all.
Hunstanton’s excellent beach offers ideal conditions for playing on the sand, exploring rock pools, and enjoying the sea.
Old Hunstanton has a much more quieter village atmosphere, with carstone-built cottages, traditional British pubs and a much more slower pace of life in general. You can walk from one resort to the other, so you can delight in experiencing the two different areas of Hunstanton in one day.
Hunstanton’s popular seasonal land train carries visitors from Searles Leisure Resort to the Lighthouse and back again, making it very easy, and fun, to travel around Hunstanton, taking in many of the sights that the resort has to offer.
