Hello Norfolk explorers 👋

It’s definitely starting to look like spring around Norfolk. The daffodils are out and everything is beginning to feel a bit brighter.

Over the weekend we took a trip to King’s Lynn to visit the Lynn Museum while they still have free admission (October to March). Their Seahenge exhibition is fascinating and they also have a special Star Wars exhibition running through May.

We also took advantage of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s 100th birthday celebrations and visited Hickling Broad. It was incredibly peaceful and such a lovely place for a spring walk.

And that wasn’t all! We joined part of the re-enactment of Will Kemp’s famous dancing journey from London to Norwich. It’s such a fun tradition. You can watch a short clip of some of the morris dancing here, and I’ll be sharing more photos and videos on our Facebook page here.

This week is shaping up to be another busy one across Norfolk. There are Mother’s Day and St Patrick’s Day celebrations, an art show at the Forum, a 10K race, King’s Lynn Cocktail Week and more.

Plus National Lottery Open Week is still running, with Norwich Castle offering free admission on 13 and 14 March.

Here’s what else is happening across Norfolk this week ⬇️

PS. This is one of the best times of year to do the Norwich Riverside Walk while the daffodils are in bloom. Take a look at our guide to one of my favourite walks here.
