Thomas S. Monson once said, “Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting”. It’s been a tough year and we could all do with a little pick-me-up but sometimes it feels even better to give, than it is to receive.

Whether it’s a neighbour who has checked in on us, a key worker who hasn’t stopped, or a family member delivering food parcels, we all have someone to be grateful for during this time.

What if you could show your appreciation by giving them a gift that didn’t cost you anything? If it sounds like the perfect, win-win situation, it’s because it is.

Happy Valley and Tribe Norfolk have teamed up with some incredibly talented and kind-hearted local suppliers living and working in Norfolk. They’ve all had a challenging year, but they are all about the Christmas spirit and want to help you spread a little cheer.

Each day, from Sunday 13th December until Christmas, we will be giving you the opportunity to nominate a worthy friend to receive a special Christmas treat. This will be featured across our social media channels. All you need to do is like the post on Instagram, follow the supplier and Happy Valley and nominate your friend worthy of the prize – let them know you care and the reasons why. If you see the prize on Facebook or Linked In, tag the friend you’d like to nominate and share the post. A winner will be selected and announced every day and boy do we have some amazing prizes up for grabs.

Nothing ever seems too bad, no mountain seems too hard to climb, when you know there’s someone cheering you on from the side lines. Be that person for someone else this Christmas and nominate them for Happy Valley’s Season of Giving Giveaway.

With love, Katy, Kirsty and the team at Happy Valley xx

We’ve watched the world from our window seat. Seasons have rolled in and out, like waves lapping against the shore. Time has played tricks on our mind, with long stretches of inactivity laid out before us and then a whirlwind of chaos flurrying in. With the uncertainty we all face, Happy Valley is hanging onto the hope of Christmas.

The warmth of hot chocolates and mulled wine by the fire, the enchantment of hearing sleigh bells jangle overhead and the sparkle of lights on in windows, brings this winter season to life. Looking out into the abyss of darkness, the vast landscape rolling out in front of the night sky – just when you think you’re all alone, you see a candle come on, a lantern light up and a fire glow in the distance.

At Happy Valley, we believe in community coming together, we believe in the hopes and dreams of others and we most definitely believe in the magic of Christmas.

Our Happy Valley elves have been busy preparing for the festivities and our cabins have been spruced up, ready to welcome you back this winter. Secret Santas have climbed up on their shelves, angels have taken position overhead, garlands have lovingly wrapped themselves around the beams and the baubles have bounced into position.

If you’re wondering where to go on holiday in the UK this Christmas then why not try beautiful North Norfolk. Surrounded by wide open spaces, beautiful off road walks, stunning award winning beaches and plenty of fresh air to keep you healthy.

What better way to celebrate each other this year than to take a staycation in the beautiful county of Norfolk.

Our cabins:

Toad Hall – a sumptuous treehouse, sleeping four adults and two children. This comes with a private hot tub, wheelchair accessible ramp, wetroom ensuite, open plan kitchenette, wine cooler, and outside decking area.

Woodpecker – a magical bell temple, sleeping either four adults or two adults and two children. This is an open plan room with king sized bed, adult-sized bunk bed, log burner, dining area, DVD player and ensuite shower room.

Denver Rest – a shepherd hut amongst the trees, sleeping two adults. This cosy hut comes with an outdoor kitchenette, a fire pit, and a shower room a short walk away.

King Nutkin – a love nest for two, sleeping two adults. This comes with a log burner, indoor kitchenette with a shower room a short walk away.

Christmas Cabin - yet to be named, our latest log cabin is coming along a treat and will make for the perfect Christmas surprise. Sleeping four adults (with the potential of two children), it comes with an ensuite shower room, open plan kitchen and living room, two bedrooms, a wrap around porch and a private woodfired hot tub.
