What's on in Norfolk this summer

Yoga - Foraging - Pilates - Sauna - Ice Bath - Dinner / Party Under The Stars - Camping

​

This is one of two of my own events on the list. I’m lucky to work with some incredible Norfolk businesses in my day job running our small business marketing agency, Coastal Media and I’ve always wanted a way to bring them all together and create something totally unique and special.

 

As we sat in the middle of one of the rewilded meadows at Castle Wild Camp back in May an idea formed in my mind that was just so exciting that I had to run with it. Luckily Castle Wild Camp were up for it (as were all the incredible small Norfolk businesses I hand selected to collaborate on it) and tickets have just been released.

 

This weekend event is everything I love about Norfolk rolled into one. If you love following our adventures, I absolutely guarantee that you’re going to love this weekend. It’s the lowest price you’ll ever see for an event like this too as I’m taking zero profit. Run don’t walk, this event will sell out fast. Only 15 tickets remaining.

Coming into it’s 15th year, the North Norfolk Food & Drink Festival has grown into a highly successful event with visitors from across the county and beyond.

 

Featuring an ever-growing team of local food and drink producers who grow, rear, produce, supply and sell food in North Norfolk.

​

The festival takes place in the spectacular setting of the Walled Garden at Holkham Hall. Historically filled with vegetables and flowers grown for the Hall, nestled within huge brick and flint walls that offer protection from the elements, they made for an ideal setting to celebrate the abundance of Norfolk.

​

Stall holders offer their products for sale including fresh meat and game, vegetables, cakes, artisan beer, bread, tarts, juices, cakes and bakes, chocolates and much more. A dazzling array of concessions offer delicious food for eating on site and entertainment ranges from the ever popular cookery theatre to children’s activities and face painting.

Marshside at The White Horse at Brancaster is like a pilgrimage that everyone has to do at least once over summer. Time it so that one of their events is on too (there's three across summer) and you'll have an unforgettable day, enjoying everything that's great about Norfolk.

Amazing evenings throughout summer of beer, music and food.

​

From 4pm on the last Friday of each month, in the Stackyard at Barsham Brewery will be Norfolk’s best Street Food vans and musicians.

​

Their new tap room has just soft launched too so if you're local, definitely nip down at check it out. It looks like such a gorgeous space and will be open Friday, Saturdays and Sundays.

​

No need to book for either Street Food Fridays or The Tap Room. There'll be plenty of seating at Street Food Fridays but you can bring your own. Dogs always welcome.

The Glaven Bistro have done a few live music events now and they've been packed out every single time.

​

This gorgeous place does exceptional food. All local and seasonal produce with a really interesting and considered menu. 

​

Pair that delicious food with a live music evening and you couldn't get much better. This is going to be such a lovely way to spend a summer's evening.​

This summer, the amazing Sauna Box have a collaborated with some incredible wellness practitioners to bring you the beach event line up of dreams.

​

Think yoga/pilates, sea dips and sauna, all with a wonderful group of people on two of Norfolk's best beaches (and if you fancy travelling further afield for a Suffolk day trip, there's even some events on the beautiful Dunwich beach too).

A sensational summer of theatre and music all set in a stunning hidden away location in the beautiful Norfolk countryside. 

​

There's some fantastic shows taking to the stage this summer at Westacre Theatre; either outside, under canvas or by their beautiful lake. You can even treat yourself to a 'Prosecco Picnic' put together by the amazing Rudham and Litcham Deli; just order in advance to enjoy while watching either 'A Slice of Saturday Night' or 'Bleak Expectations' and it'll be there waiting for you on arrival at the theatre.

​

Matt, Luna & I (yes they're dog friendly 🐶) can't wait to go and see their in-house production of 'A Slice of Saturday Night' which is a fun 1960s Musical.

​

There's a whole host of amazing touring companies performing here across August too so check out the full programme for all of the different productions and dates.​​

The National Garden Scheme (NGS) gives visitors access to 77 of the best gardens in Norfolk.

 

Your visits and donations to private gardens near Norfolk raise important funds for Charitable causes across the UK.

​

Thanks to the generosity of owners opening gardens for free NGS was able to raise and donate over £3.4 million to charities last year. They hope to top this in 2024 with more beautiful gardens open in Norfolk for you to visit this summer than ever before.

Fridays at Camphill became pretty legendary last year. These once a month, free and open-to-all events at Flint Vineyard with local street food, Flint wine, Ampersand Brew Co beer and live acoustic tunes are the perfect vibe. 

​
