Deepdale Podcast - North Norfolk Railway (The Poppy Line) & Wroxham Barns - April 2024

Deepdale Podcast

Hello and welcome to the Deepdale Podcast. I’m Jason and it’s April 2024. Thanks for listening to our little slice of North Norfolk life. We hope that you are managing to enjoy the wonders of Spring somewhere beautiful, and that the weather is giving you both time outdoors and excuses to enjoy a local hostelry or café.

This month I headed East from Deepdale into North Norfolk to visit two of the premier attractions in this beautiful part of the world - North Norfolk Railway and Wroxham Barns. Both are long standing parts of the local tourism industry and it was great to find out more about their offering and history.

Before we dive into steam trains, crafts and cute animals, there have been lots of additions to the events programme, in particular rural craft workshops on Deepdale Farm, more additions to the street food we are hosting, and hundreds of additional events have been added from all over North Norfolk and West Norfolk. You can see full listings on our website at deepdalecamping.co.uk/events/

Deepdale Farm are hosting their Open Farm Sunday event on Sunday 2nd June. It’s a free event, themed ‘Farming with nature’ and is a great chance to visit the organic farm, explore their machinery, find out about invertebrates, bats & birds and have a go at green woodworking or enjoy a guided farm walk. Head to deepdalefarm.co.uk for more information and to book tickets.

The accommodation on site for Deepdale Festival 2024 is all sold out, but day tickets are available and we are working with lots of local accommodation. Full details are on the festival website deepdalefestival.co.uk

And lastly a reminder that The Pantaloons join us again this summer with their wonderful open air theatre. This year we’ll be hosting their hilarious versions of The Importance of Being Earnest on Wednesday 12th June and The Merry Wives of Windsor on Thursday 22nd August. To book tickets and for more information go to deepdalecamping.co.uk/theatre/

Enjoy the listen, and we hope to see you very soon.
