Driftwood Glass Studio

The studio sits within Dalegate Market, just outside King's Lynn, and it's the sort of place that makes you slow down. You're there to watch glass being worked - molten, glowing, properly hypnotic stuff - and to browse pieces that the artist has actually made. Nothing mass-produced, nothing tired. The work ranges from functional domestic items to standalone sculptures, all with that handmade quality you can feel the moment you pick something up.

It works best if you're genuinely interested in the craft. History buffs or casual shoppers might spend twenty minutes and call it done. But if you like watching skilled work or you're after something one-off for the house, you could easily lose an hour here. The glass catches light differently depending on the time of day, which sounds like flannel until you're actually standing in front of it.

Being right at Dalegate Market means you can combine it with a wander round the market itself - food stalls, local produce, proper Norfolk stuff. If you're camping at Deepdale, it's essentially on your doorstep. For those staying at Range Farm Glamping or any of the other sites scattered round the north Norfolk coast, it's a decent half-hour drive that breaks up a holiday nicely without feeling like a chore.

Check ahead for opening times and whether there's an entry fee - details are a bit thin on the ground online. Worth ringing to confirm they're demo-ing on the day you visit.
