Shuffleboard is coming to Norwich! Brilliant article on BBC News about how Yalm in the Arcade will soon be opening a new shuffleboard and darts room. The article also features interviews with Jenny of Lady B loves and Jodie & Bria at Lazy Lobster about what its like to run a retail business in the Arcade.

Shuffleboard tables similar to those found in the USA are being installed at a shopping arcade.

It was wonderful to welcome Owen Sennitt of BBC Norfolk to the Arcade today to interview three of our storeowners about their experiences of what is a forerunner for today's (rather soulless) shopping malls. As you can see Owen was entertained by Jodie and Bria of Lazy Lobster, Jenny of Lady B loves and Andy at Gyre & Gimble Store. Interviews to be broadcast tomorrow...we think!
