Carrow House, the former home of Norfolk's famous Colman family, is being opened again for a limited time only.

The Shoebox Experiences, a tour company based in Castle Meadow in the city, is hosting the new tour Carrow House & The Forgotten Vaults.

The event will see participants exploring the Grade-II listed mansion and its underground vaults and historic gardens.

Visitors will be shown details including the Colman family's old filing system, which remains labelled, and 11 safes that belonged to the wealthy family.

Tickets have been "incredibly popular" said Lisa Willet, customer experience manager for the non-profit organisation.
