An evening out in Norwich just got cheaper, following the announcement of a new partnership between The Maddermarket Theatre and independent restaurant The Iron House.

The venues have launched a deal where ticket holders for the near 100-year-old theatre will get 20% off their food and drink bill for pre-show dining at the contemporary restaurant.

The deal has been announced as The Maddermarket launches its latest in-house production of Robert Harling's Steel Magnolias.
