But whilst the castle provided the breathtaking backdrop, it was the company that made the evening truly special. We were blessed with both an incomparable historic setting and wonderful guests who brought warmth, laughter, and festive spirit to every corner of the great hall.
Rory Bremner made a long-lasting impression
The evening’s entertainment was provided by the legendary Rory Bremner, and what a performance it was! Rory’s razor-sharp wit and masterful impressions had the entire room captivated. His take on Donald Trump was pitch-perfect, Sir Keir Starmer and Boris Johnson were equally brilliant, offering both comedy and commentary in that inimitable Bremner style. From political satire to cultural observations, Rory delivered a truly outstanding performance that perfectly complemented the grandeur of our setting.

Salute to the Castle Team
A special thank you goes to the Norwich Castle team, for whom this was their first banquet in the newly restored keep – though certainly not the first banquet these walls have witnessed! Particular recognition must go to Yan Pitman, the castle’s in-house historian and medieval knight, who welcomed every guest with such enthusiasm and authenticity, immediately transporting us back to the Norman era. The entire team worked tirelessly to ensure the evening ran seamlessly, and their passion for this historic building shone through in every detail.
