Discover local events and activities for children and families interested in nature and wildlife.

Being in nature makes people of all ages happier and healthier. We are passionate about helping families and children to connect with Norfolk's wildlife and wild places - whether through family-friendly events, exploring our reserves and visitor centres, or finding exciting activities to enjoy at home. 

Whether you are looking for exploration, adventure or relaxation, head to one of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s five wild spaces with visitor centres. Each offers an inviting gateway to nature complete with a warm welcome, wildlife experiences and events, food and drink, a spot of shopping and other facilities to ensure you have a great day out.

Perched on the edge of Ranworth Broad, our distinctive floating visitor centre emerges from the reedbeds at the end of an ambling boardwalk through atmospheric woodland.

From birdwatching to bracing walks, cream teas to cuddly toys, Holme Dunes visitor centre is the ideal base to soak up this beautiful coastal landscape.

Whether you’re enjoying a woodland walk or spotting the rare stone curlew, our moss-topped visitor centre is a great place for newcomers and nature explorers alike.

Whether it’s a gentle walk under the wide skies, a boat trip to our bird hides, or a twilight trip to the raptor roost – start your Hickling adventure at our visitor centre.

Built into the hillside, our award-winning visitor centre offers panoramic views across the coastline and makes the perfect spot to rest and refuel while exploring NWT Cley and Salthouse Marshes nature reserve.

Plan your visit with Norfolk Wildlife Trust as we inspire your children and young people to discover, explore and care for the local environment with our hands-on learning sessions for schools and youth groups.
