From theatre shows and festivals, to interactive workshops and exciting exhibits, there’s a whole host of fun to be had throughout Norfolk this summer!
With so much to see and do, we’ve put together a selection of fantastic events taking place across the county over the next few weeks – all with a science twist of course...
Reconnect with nature
Coming to Norfolk for the very first time, embrace the great outdoors at the Gone Wild Festival with Bear Grylls. Taking place from 8–11 August, in the stunning grounds of Holkham Hall, this epic family festival offers a jam-packed programme of live music, inspirational speakers and creative workshops.
Join our friends at Pensthorpe from the 12 August until 3 September to learn more about nature’s superheroes in an immersive summer trail. Plus, with over 700 acres to explore, you can visit again and again with an unlimited summer pass from just £30.
Discover wild nightlife at ROARR with their ever popular Dinos in the Dark event on Saturday 24 August. Budding paleontologists can explore the park as it transforms into a twilight Jurassic adventure – complete with stargazing, wildlife exhibits and valley tours.
Get creative
If you’re looking for ways to entertain your 4–11-year-olds over the holidays, why not sign them up for this year’s Summer Reading Challenge, Marvellous Makers? Offered by Norfolk Libraries, children can unlock rewards for their reading, collect stickers, and receive a medal and certificate when they reach their challenge goal!
Visit the Museum of Norwich at the Bridewell any day this summer and take part in a Brilliant Birds craft activity. Included in the museum admission cost, you can create your own beautiful bird decorations out of paper to take home. Suitable for crafters of all ages, you can also try your hand at Wonderful Weaving every Tuesday at the museum (up until 27 August).
