Walk with Verena - Friday 27 February
A day in three parts. Join us for all three, just two, or just one – you choose!
1 A guided walk at Carlton Marshes Nature Reserve, Burnt Hill Lane, Lowestoft NR33 8HU.
We will experience the winter marshland and learn all about the nature reserve.
Stout walking shoes are advised, and outdoor clothing according to the weather on the day.
There is a £5 per person charge for the walk, payable on the day.
10.30am start, for a visit of approximately 2 hours. The coffee shop at the reserve opens at 10am.

2 Lunch at the Jolly Sailors in Pakefield, NR33 0JS. Our table is booked for 1.30pm.
Pre-ordering will depend on how many people want to come, so that will be decided at a later date.
You can see the menus on their website: The Jolly Sailors, Pakefield
3 The Jolly Sailors is on the seafront, so a walk after lunch will be lovely for those who want some sea air.
Please let Verena know via our Contact us page if you want to join us on what promises to be a Grand Day Out.

2027 is The European Year of the Normans
For the millennium of William the Conqueror's birth, major celebrations are being planned in Normandy, the UK, and indeed across Europe, wherever the Normans were influential – a surprisingly high number of countries!
Our 2027 page will keep track of all the events planned.
