DRAGON HALL, NR1 1QE 01603 877 177 | www.nationalcentreforwriting.org.uk/dragon-hall The 15 th -century Dragon Hall, home to the National Centre for Writing, is a magnificent timbered trading hall right in the heart of Norwich. Easily accessible from the city-centre hotels and train station, it’s licensed for ceremonies and is available for exclusive use so you can celebrate your whole day under one roof. The oak-beamed Great Hall provides a stunning backdrop and there’s room for up to 120 guests for the ceremony and wedding breakfast. Afterwards, get out your dancing shoes and celebrate in the Foyle Gallery with its contemporary glass wall. We love... the petty courtyard garden, great for photos in the summer.
