Meet at 8pm and finish about 3pm
As the North Norfolk Coast begins to
move out of Covid-19 lockdown, and tourism businesses re-open,
more planned events are taking place. These are just listings,
so please follow links and check with organisers of events
before assuming events are running.

Join us on the farm. Spend time outdoors, get some exercise, meet people and make a difference for wildlife.
At Deepdale Farm,
we’re changing the way we farm – we have taken 60% of our land out of
production to manage it for wildlife, and we’re restoring and improving
habitats across the farm. We’re farming alongside nature, growing organic
crops while providing food and habitat for birds, invertebrates and other
wildlife.
Join us on Wednesdays this winter to do a range of work around the farm,
from planting trees to restoring hedgerows, managing our woodland and more.
All abilities and levels of experience are welcome – if you’re not sure
what you’re doing, we’ll show you – but if you’ve done this kind of thing
before, we can really use your skills!
What to wear
Come dressed for a variety of weather conditions and manual work –
practical shoes, thick socks, layers and waterproofs are a good idea. Don’t
wear anything you might regret getting dirty or damaged.
What to bring
Come ready to work as part of a team, with a sense of humour – this work
is fun, but sometimes the weather can be challenging.
Also bring:
- a packed lunch, or you can pick something up from Deepdale Stores
onsite
- thick work gloves if you have them – if not, we will provide you
with some
- a face mask if you are inside or working in close proximity with
others
We are working to be as Covid safe as we can, so we’d really appreciate
it if you are double vaccinated against Covid-19 and respect social
distancing as far as possible.
We will provide
- training in any jobs you need to do
- all tools and equipment you might need
- supervision by first aid trained staff – we want you to be safe
- hot and cold drinks and a snack
To sign up for a Wild Wednesday, just complete our quick registration
form to let us know you’re coming – we have to limit numbers for safety
reasons.
Sessions start at 9am with a briefing, and end by 3pm or when we’ve run
out of jobs to do!
More opportunities
We have a wide range of jobs to do around the farm throughout the week –
if you’re interested in other ways you can get involved in what we’re doing,
just get in touch.
