Upcoming events

What an excellent way to start the year. We will meet in Walberswick Quay car park (there is a charge for parking - you need to have the RingGo app or pay by phone). Lunch will be at The Bell in Walberswick at 1.00pm.

Having worked in the jewellery trade for over forty years Maria will pass on her knowledge of diamonds from  their origins, where they are found, their chemical composition and how they are cut through to the end of their story as beautiful and valuable jewellery . The ‘sparkling’ talk will be followed by tea/coffee and biscuits.

Once the headquarters of Norwich Union, the Marble Hall is now celebrated as one of Norwich’s twelve historically significant buildings. The tour will last one hour and is led by Shoebox Experiences.

We are hoping to be able to offer this event however the Theatre cannot confirm until nearer the time.

Following our very successful house tour in 2025 we are returning for a garden tour led by the Head Gardener. The tour will last two hours. There is a vegetarian cafe on site.

This year’s guest speaker will be a representative of Clinks Care Farm at Toft Monks. The Farm is a social enterprise offering placements to people with significant needs giving access to the natural farm environment and the activities on the farm. This will be followed by Group business along with wine and nibbles. We would like to encourage all members to join us to learn first hand how the Group has performed over the past year and what is planned for the next twelve months.

Strumpshaw is one of the few places (and best chance) to see these large and rare butterflies. Strumpshaw volunteers will lead a two hour tour exploring the fen and hoping for a glimpse of these illusive beauties. 

Over the course of 90 minutes we will learn about Great Yarmouth’s Historic South Quay, described by Daniel Defoe as ‘The finest quay in England if not in Europe’. We will discover an eclectic mix on this walk - a sofa statue often mistaken for fly tipping, museum buildings and how they started and find out which building started to lean shortly after it was built.

It’s great to be able to offer this fun event again! John and Sara will be setting the usual brain teasers around a local town. 

It’s been eight years since the last visit to this lovely house and gardens so hopefully those who went before will be ready for another visit and those of us who are new to the area will enjoy a first look. On arrival we will be met with tea/coffee and biscuits followed by a guided tour of the reception rooms and afternoon tea. The price includes access to the gardens which we can tour at our leisure.

This is a volunteer ranger led walk around the reserve learning about its plants and wildlife. We might see migrating birds, the last of the dragonflies and some early autumn fungi. It’s nature - you just never know what you’re going to get! There is an excellent cafe on site for those who need to refuel after the walk.

We will have a one hour guided tour of this unique, Grade 1 listed, medieval trading hall which is one of the ‘Norwich Twelve’ - the iconic buildings of Norwich.

Our annual event is always a fun evening - no sore losers or boastful winners are allowed! When we’ve found out all the things we didn’t know we can feed the brain cells with fish and chips from Limms. Members will be notified of the charge for the evening nearer the time.

Full details will be emailed to members nearer the time including pricing and menu. We will require your cash payment and menu choices in advance - date to be advised.
