The prizes up for grabs include tickets to Norwich Castle, the Museum of Norwich and their escape rooms Goin' Up City and the Merchants' Vaults, a behind-the-scenes tour of Norwich Airport, entry for Roarr! Dinosaur Adventure in Lenwade and free games at The Bowling House in Dereham Road.

The top prizes are an £1,000 intu Chapelfield gift card, a two-night stay in a deluxe room with breakfast at the Norfolk Mead Hotel in Coltishall and a one-night stay in an executive suite at the Park Farm Hotel in Hethersett with breakfast and access to leisure and spa facilities.
The event has been organised by VisitNorwich and Norwich Business Improvement District (BID), which was established in November 2012 to help the city thrive and to support local businesses.
Stefan Gurney, executive director at Norwich BID, said: "The inspiration for Norwich Big Weekend is to showcase to residents the breadth and quality of things to do, eat and see across Norwich and the rest of the county, so in turn they can share their experiences with others.

Most tickets will be valid over the Norwich Big Weekend and the ballot is open now until March 16 to anyone with a Norfolk postcode at norwichbigweekend.co.uk and you can enter as many times as you like.
