Good airfield to visit for persons not particularly into flying

I have recently joined a group and hence am freed from the tyrrany of renting with the associated high costs and inability to have the aircraft for more than a couple of hours.

I would like to celebrate by taking the wife somewhere nice for the day. Places I have been previously are Duxford, Retford, Leicester, Gloucester, Sywell (and Old Buck but that's just down the road anyway!). All are good airfields but don't offer much to someone without an interest in aviation.

About 2 hours flight time from Norwich and a nice day out for the non-pilot is what I'm after. Suggestions?
I'm equally happy with grass or tarmac (rough or smooth!) and the aircraft is a C172 so should be able to get into most places.
