Details

Pensthorpe Conservation Trust are hosting a Pensthorpe Bird & Wildlife Fair, here at Pensthorpe – showcasing why Norfolk is renowned as ‘the birdwatching capital of Britain’.

Sponsored by local nature businesses Cley Spy, in Glandford, and WILD Sounds & Books, in Salthouse, the Pensthorpe Bird & Wildlife Fair will feature guest speakers, demonstrations, walks and talks, and book signings. The event is a celebration of nature-spotting in Norfolk and will bring together experts in the fields of optic equipment, wildlife-inspired art and crafts, books and wildlife and nature holidays.

April and May are the peak times for spring bird migration so the event provides a weekend for birders to visit and stay in Norfolk, right in the middle of the busy migratory period.

Our indoor play area, Hootz House, will be CLOSED on this weekend. We will, however, be offering outdoor activities for young families and children. Details to follow shortly.
