Unifies Digital Brand Experience, Merging All Existing Facebook Pages into Streamlined Identity

October 20, 2025 – Barnham Broom, today announced a major strategic step in its broader rebrand initiative: the consolidation of all legacy “Facebook Pages” into a single, unified presence that will operate under the new corporate identity across all platforms.

The move is designed to eliminate fragmented branding, simplify content creation, and provide businesses, creators, and public figures with a more cohesive digital footprint. Existing Facebook Pages ( The Spa at Barnham Broom, Timeshare and The Edge at Barnham Broom) content, followers, and historical data will be seamlessly integrated into the new, standardized identity format, which emphasizes cross-platform performance and a streamlined user management experience.

“This is more than just a name change; it’s a commitment to clarity and focus for our customers” said “For too long, the seperate digital identities has created unnecessary complexity. By merging the functionality of Pages into a single, powerful, and intuitive new identity structure, we are making it easier for every brand and creator to connect authentically and efficiently with their audience, ensuring their presence is consistent wherever they engage with us.”

The transition, which will begin rolling out in a phased approach starting 20.10.2025, promises several key benefits:

Simplified Management: Content scheduling, analytics, and community moderation will be centralized under one umbrella, reducing the need to toggle between different account types.
Unified Reach: Audience data and insights will reflect the total reach across the entire digital ecosystem of [New Company Name], offering clearer ROI metrics for advertisers and marketers.
Future-Proof Identity: The new structure is built to integrate with upcoming features and virtual experiences, ensuring a frictionless transition into the next generation of social technology.

Barnham Broom will be providing comprehensive guides, video tutorials, and dedicated support teams to assist all Page administrators through the consolidation process over the next six months.

Discover Luxury Spa Treatments and Packages

Ready to swap the daily grind for pure relaxation? Whether you’re searching for a quick spa day, planning overnight spa breaks for couples, or looking for the ultimate mum to be spa day to treat a friend or family member, finding the perfect local retreat is the first step to blissful well-being. Our hand-picked selection of luxury spa treatments and packages ensures every visit is an unforgettable journey to tranquillity here at The Spa at Barnham Broom.

The Best Treatments for Every Need

Finding the right spa treatment near me can be overwhelming, so we’ve put together a guide to some of our most popular services, recommended by our Spa Therapists, guaranteed to leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated.

ESPA Back, Face & Scalp Treatment

The ESPA Back, Face & Scalp Treatment, widely recognised as the ESPA ‘Hero’ treatment, is the definitive choice for those seeking total rejuvenation in one single, comprehensive service. This multi-stage therapy is a masterclass in holistic pampering, expertly designed to address the most common areas of tension and stress simultaneously. The restorative journey begins with essential body care: a thorough back exfoliation immediately followed by a deeply tension-relieving back massage. This focused attention effectively melts away muscle tightness, bringing comfort and relief to your shoulders and back and setting the perfect foundation for the rest of your experience.

The treatment seamlessly transitions into luxury with a fully personalised facial. Leveraging ESPA’s high-performance products, your therapist custom-tailors the steps to your skin’s exact needs, whether for hydration, balance, or radiance, guaranteeing you leave with a brighter, clearer complexion. The grand finale is a profoundly calming scalp massage, offering a moment of quiet bliss perfect for clearing the mind (with the added option of intensely nourishing Pink Hair Mud).

This all-encompassing ‘Hero’ treatment, described by Nicole as “A touch of all treatments to invigorate with soothing, calming aspects,” delivers deep therapeutic results for your body, face, and mind, promising a complete sense of well-being that will leave you feeling fully restored and utterly spoilt.

Luxury Hot Stone Massage

Indulge in the Luxury Hot Stone Massage, a profoundly therapeutic treatment that uses the soothing power of nature to melt away stress and muscle tension.

Smooth, heated basalt stones are the centrepiece of this experience, delivering gentle yet deep heat therapy that penetrates muscle tissue to reduce pain and stiffness far more effectively than traditional methods alone. The warmth of the stones is seamlessly combined with skilled massage techniques to promote ultimate relaxation throughout the body.

As Abi highlights, this is “A warming treatment that instantly promotes relaxation,” but it’s far more than just a body massage; it includes a delicate facial cleanse, face, and scalp massage to ensure a truly holistic and full-body experience that leaves you feeling deeply calm, restored, and completely pampered.

Personalised ESPA Facial

Facials at the spa are a deeply personalised and therapeutic experience, starting with a meticulous SkinVision™ analysis to precisely determine your complexion’s current condition and specific needs. This essential diagnostic step ensures that every subsequent stage is perfectly tailored to you, delivering maximum benefit. The treatment itself is a comprehensive ritual of skin renewal, incorporating thorough cleansing and targeted exfoliation to prepare the skin, followed by a deeply relaxing and circulation-boosting massage.

Next, an intensive mask is applied to treat specific concerns, before the final step of a potent, targeted intensive serum locks in the goodness. As Chloe aptly notes, the treatment truly elevates the experience beyond your daily routine by incorporating facial and scalp massage, actively covering areas you wouldn’t do at home, making the entire process feel like pure luxury.

Hopi Ear Candling

The ancient holistic practice of Hopi Ear Candling offers a profoundly relaxing and therapeutic experience, perfect for those seeking natural relief from sinus pressure and congestion. This treatment involves using hollow, natural beeswax candles—which are carefully placed just inside the ear canal—to create a gentle vacuum effect.

This subtle suction helps to draw out superficial impurities and accumulated debris, promoting a cleaner ear canal. Beyond this clearing action, many people find the treatment exceptionally helpful for relieving chronic sinus pressure and discomfort. As Claire notes, it’s a “great holistic treatment” that can even help clients “prepare [their] ears prior to flying” due to its ability to soothe and address ear discomfort. The warm, comforting nature of the practice ensures a deeply calming experience, leaving you feeling lighter, clearer, and wonderfully relaxed.

CHARITY GOLF DAY 2025

On Friday the 10^th October, Barnham Broom hosted a Grand Charity Event at the golf club.

The event was held to raise vital funds for two incredible charities and is the 27^th year that the golf day has been held for Macmillan Nurses raising over £320,000 on the way.

This year EACH was added to the fundraising effort for the first time.

Supported Charities

Macmillan Cancer Support, who provide physical, emotional, and financial support to people living with cancer and their families.

East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH): provides vital care and support to children and young people with life-threatening conditions and their families across East Anglia.

Event Registration and Start

Players arrived at 10am in time for registration where they were treated to bacon rolls and much needed tea & coffee.

Teams were welcomed by Graham and the Barnham Broom team, and the Barford Suite was set up with tables of goodies, on show for guests to bid on via raffles and silent auctions including over 60 rounds of golf which had been donated from many golf clubs, both local and countrywide. Enjoying some beautiful, late-summer weather (a real treat for October!), 100 golfers teed off on the Championship Valley Course. The team names were a highlight, too, ranging from the excellent—’Rice Rice Baby,’ ‘The Norfolk Turnips,’ and ‘Keys & his Caddies’—to the truly unprintable

Teams started by warming up on the practice ground before gathering for the 11:30 am shotgun start. The day also offered an incredible incentive: a chance to win a brand-new car during the round. The catch? Golfers had to make a hole-in-one on the difficult 17th of the Valley course, generously sponsored by Desira Group PLC. After a complimentary glass of prosecco though on the tee, that challenge might have been a bit more tricky!

Nicky’s Legendary Cakes

Meanwhile, attendees could grab a cake and drink from the halfway hut in return for a small donation.

There was a huge variety of homemade baked goodies to choose from kindly prepared by Nicky—think lemon drizzle, carrot cake, bakewell and even rocky road!

Every single donation counts and Nicky’s cakes have become legendary over previous events!

Evening Gathering and Thanks

After a fantastic round of golf, everyone gathered for a well-deserved treat: a two-course meal, prize giving, and a fun raffle. However, what truly mattered was the money raised on the day for Macmillan and EACH.

Thanks to everyone digging deep for raffle tickets and cakes, You can still contribute by bidding in the silent auction, which stays open until the end of October.

Graham Knights added: “I never cease to be amazed by the generosity displayed by all those connected with the day in what are very difficult financial times for many. My sponsors continue to support me every year which is greatly appreciated and my team of volunteers giving up their time to help two amazing charities means we are able to make a real difference to the lives of those people in need of help. I firmly believe that our efforts to fundraise really does help, especially Macmillan Nurses in Norfolk where the funds are designated and also this year to the Nook where some wonderful work is carried out helping sick children and their families every day.. I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported the day in some way, this year and in previous years..”

We would like to give a special thanks to Debbie, for planning and co-ordinating the event alongside Graham, the local Ambassador for Macmillan, the volunteers helping to make the day a success by investing their time and energy all day and our main sponsors: Artisan Drinks, MCB Financial Services and DMD Installations.

The turn out and support received on the days is a testament to the power of community and a shared desire to help those facing incredibly difficult circumstances. Everyone at Barnham Broom wants to say a huge thank you once more from the bottom of our hearts. Your swing might be a little rusty, but your compassion is absolutely golden!

What Is a Brasserie? Dining with a Twist in Norfolk

The word brasserie evokes a certain kind of dining experience – relaxed yet refined, comforting yet creative. But what exactly is a brasserie? And how does Barnham Broom’s take on this classic concept reflect the best of Norfolk’s culinary scene?

Whether you’re a foodie seeking flavour, a traveller looking for local taste, or a hotel guest searching for a memorable evening meal, The Brasserie at Barnham Broom offers a modern twist on tradition – and a dining experience worth travelling for.

Discover the menu

What Is a Brasserie?

Originating in France, a brasserie is traditionally a lively, informal restaurant serving hearty dishes, local beers, and wines in a relaxed, social setting. It sits somewhere between a café and a fine dining restaurant – offering high-quality food without the formality or price tag of haute cuisine.

Over time, the brasserie evolved beyond its Parisian roots. Today, it blends classic European influences with regional ingredients, adapting to its setting while staying true to the spirit of warm, accessible hospitality.

At Barnham Broom, that means locally sourced, seasonally inspired menus served in a welcoming space – elegant enough for a celebration, yet relaxed enough for a casual dinner after a day on the golf course or in the spa.

The Brasserie at Barnham Broom: A Norfolk Take on the Classic

Barnham Broom’s brasserie delivers on all fronts: setting, service and above all, flavour. The space itself balances modern design with rustic charm – soft lighting, comfortable seating, and views across the Norfolk countryside. The atmosphere is informal yet attentive, making it a favourite among guests and locals alike.

But the real star is the food. Drawing on Norfolk’s abundant natural larder, the menu champions fresh produce, locally raised meats, artisan cheeses and coastal catches. Think slow-roasted lamb, wild mushrooms, pan-seared sea bass, and inventive vegetarian dishes that highlight seasonal vegetables.

From hand-crafted starters to decadent puddings, each dish reflects the kitchen’s attention to quality and presentation. Portions are generous but balanced, with ingredients allowed to shine rather than being overshadowed by gimmicks.

Perfect for Every Occasion

One of the key strengths of the brasserie format is its versatility – and Barnham Broom fully embraces that. Whether you’re:

Celebrating an anniversary
Catching up with friends over lunch
Looking for a romantic dinner during your spa break
Dining solo with a good book after a round of golf

…you’ll feel equally at home. The team ensures a relaxed pace, thoughtful service and just the right level of attention.

There’s also a carefully selected wine list, featuring both Old and New World bottles, and a range of cocktails and non-alcoholic options. The bar area offers a great place to enjoy an aperitif or wind down after your meal.

Seasonal Dining and Local Collaboration

One of the brasserie’s standout features is its seasonally changing menu, which keeps the dining experience fresh for returning guests and encourages chefs to continually innovate.

Barnham Broom has also built strong relationships with local Norfolk producers, sourcing ingredients from nearby farms, markets and artisan suppliers. This not only reduces food miles but helps support the regional food economy.

If you’re visiting during special events or themed weekends, the brasserie often creates bespoke menus to mark the occasion – from Valentine’s dinners and Mother’s Day lunches to festive tasting menus.

Current offers

More Than a Hotel Restaurant

While many hotel restaurants cater primarily to in-house guests, Barnham Broom’s Brasserie is a destination in its own right. Locals from the Norwich area often book tables for Sunday lunch, weekday suppers, or celebrations, knowing they’ll receive consistently excellent food and service.

For those staying overnight, the convenience of having such a high-quality dining option just steps from your room is unbeatable – especially after a long day of golf, spa treatments or countryside exploration.

Final Thoughts

The Brasserie at Barnham Broom brings together the best elements of brasserie dining – comfort, creativity, and quality – while giving it a distinctly Norfolk identity. Whether you’re visiting for a weekend, celebrating something special, or simply passing through, the experience offers more than just a meal. It’s a chance to pause, savour and enjoy the moment.

What Makes a Great Sports Bar? Atmosphere, Screens & Cold Pints

Whether it’s the roar of a last-minute goal, the crackle of rugby anticipation, or the high-octane drama of a Grand Prix, watching live sport is better when shared. And while streaming at home is easy, there’s still nothing quite like the buzz of a great sports bar.

But what actually makes a sports bar stand out? It’s more than just a screen and a pint. At Barnham Broom’s Sports Bar in Norfolk, everything from the setup to the menu has been crafted to make match days memorable – whether you’re a local, a resort guest, or passing through for the weekend.

More Than Just a Game – Why Sports Bars Still Matter

In a world of on-demand viewing, sports bars remain vital for fans. Why? Because they offer something the living room can’t: atmosphere.

The tension of a penalty shoot-out. The unified cheer as a driver takes the lead. The sighs, the jokes, the friendly debates. Watching in a sports bar creates a communal experience – one that brings strangers together and turns matches into moments.

And let’s be honest: it’s always better with a proper drink and some pub grub.

What to Look for in a Brilliant Sports Bar

If you’re choosing where to watch the match, these are the essentials:

Plenty of HD screens with strong sightlines – no craning your neck
Spacious, comfy seating – not just standing room at the bar
A quality food menu – burgers, wings, loaded chips, not just peanuts
Cold pints and real ales – with options for non-drinkers too
A buzzing but balanced atmosphere – fun, not frantic
Coverage of major sports – football, F1, rugby, cricket, golf
A welcoming vibe for solo fans, groups, or casual watchers

A great sports bar isn’t just for die-hards – it’s for everyone who enjoys the game, the chat, and the occasion.

Why Barnham Broom’s Sports Bar Delivers

Tucked within the wider Barnham Broom resort, the Sports Bar is a hidden gem in Norfolk’s sporting and social scene. It ticks every box – with a few bonuses.

Here’s what makes it stand out:

Multiple HD screens broadcasting major fixtures including the Premier League, Champions League, F1, international rugby, cricket, and golf
Spacious seating designed for comfort – whether you’re with a group or flying solo
A strong food and drink menu, featuring classic bar snacks, hearty mains, and local ales
Relaxed atmosphere – lively enough for energy, calm enough for conversation
Open to everyone – guests, golfers, locals and visiting fans
Outdoor terrace for a drink in the sun before or after the match
Plenty of free parking, so no travel stress

This isn’t just a screen in the corner of a noisy pub. It’s a dedicated space with the fixtures, facilities and food to back it up.
