SUMMARY:What the wild does to us: Nick Acheson and Harriet Mead in conversation as part of Norwich Book Festival
DESCRIPTION:Over more than a decade\, Norfolk Wildlife Trust Ambassador Nick Acheson has written a column for Norfolk Magazine\, championing the wildlife of our county. In spring 2026\, in celebration of NWT’s centenary\, 60 of those articles were brought together in This Wild Dream – a portrait of Norfolk Wildlife Trust through its places\, people\, species and ambitions. \nIn parallel\, Nick has worked for more than a year with the Society of Wildlife Artists (SWLA) at Massingham Heath. From 2025 to 2026\, over 30 artists visited Massingham to document – in drawing\, painting\, sculpture and print – the restoration of 900 acres of biodiverse grassland and the exuberant wildlife that has returned. This Healing Heath is SWLA’s celebration of that transformation: a West Norfolk valley given back to nature\, rendered in art and in Nick’s words. \nTwo books\, two ways of seeing\, one landscape. SWLA President Harriet Mead and Nick Acheson approach the natural world from different directions – one through paint and line\, one through language – but they share a conviction that paying attention to wild places matters deeply. In this far-reaching\, light-hearted conversation\, they explore nature restoration in Norfolk\, what wild habitats do to us as human beings\, and why we have always needed to capture the living world in art\, in words and in song. \nThis event is part of Norwich Book Festival. Norwich Book Festival | A Celebration of Stories \nTicket income helps support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places across the county. For this event we have included a Supporter ticket for those who would like to support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places while enjoying an evening of conversation.

SUMMARY:By design: rebuilding a home for Norfolk's ospreys
DESCRIPTION:In 2025\, ospreys bred in Norfolk for the first time in over 250 years – at NWT Ranworth Broad. It’s a significant and exciting milestone in bringing this iconic bird back to England\, and one with roots that stretch back over a decade. \nJoin amateur naturalist Simon Curtin\, a birdwatcher of over 50 years\, for the inspiring personal story behind that success. In 2014\, Simon led a project in the Vale of Belvoir\, Leicestershire\, to reintroduce ospreys as a breeding species to the East Midlands – work that would go on to play a direct role in the Norfolk nest’s success. \nIllustrated with Simon’s own photographs and video\, this talk covers osprey behaviour\, nesting\, migration and feeding\, alongside a “how to” look at the Belvoir project itself\, before bringing the story right up to date with the landmark Norfolk nest. \nThis talk will be taking place in ‘The Crypt’ at St Andrews Hall as part of the Wild by Design event . Please arrive 15 minutes before the talk begins and speak to someone at the entrance. \nCentenary Supporter tickets \nFor this event we’ve included a Centenary Supporter ticket for anyone who’d like to give a bit extra to support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places\, while enjoying Wild by Design. \nStandard Tickets (Members / Non-Members) \nIf you’re able to pay and would like to support our work\, we’d really appreciate a contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone. \nYour ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering community tickets at this and future events. Ticket income helps support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places across the county as we celebrate our centenary year. \nCommunity Tickets \nWe want everyone to feel welcome at Wild by Design. \nWe have a limited number of community tickets available for anyone where cost would be a barrier to booking a ticket. No questions asked – just come and enjoy the day.

SUMMARY:Seeing the natural world differently
DESCRIPTION:Award-winning wildlife photographer\, author and autistic speaker Alfie Bowen invites audiences on a powerful journey through the natural world\, revealing how seeing life differently can become a remarkable strength. \nBlending breathtaking wildlife photography with deeply personal storytelling\, Alfie shares how autism has shaped the way he experiences the world – from struggling to fit in at school and facing relentless bullying\, to finding refuge behind a camera lens. Photography became both his voice and his window into nature. \nThrough captivating images of some of the world’s most extraordinary animals\, this talk explores the surprising connections between wildlife and the human experience. Alfie’s photographs are more than portraits of animals – they are stories of resilience\, observation\, patience and hope. Along the way\, audiences discover how traits often associated with autism\, such as attention to detail\, intense focus and noticing patterns others miss\, can become extraordinary strengths. \nThis inspiring and thought-provoking talk encourages audiences to embrace different perspectives\, challenge assumptions and celebrate neurodiversity. It also highlights the importance of conservation\, reminding us that every species – and every person – has an important place in our world. \nThis talk is suitable for adults and young people. \nThis talk will be taking place in ‘The Crypt’ at St Andrews Hall as part of the Wild by Design event . Please arrive 15 minutes before the talk begins and speak to someone at the entrance. \nCentenary Supporter tickets \nFor this event we’ve included a Centenary Supporter ticket for anyone who’d like to give a bit extra to support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places\, while enjoying Wild by Design. \nStandard Tickets (Members / Non-Members) \nIf you’re able to pay and would like to support our work\, we’d really appreciate a contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone. \nYour ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering community tickets at this and future events.

DESCRIPTION:In 2021\, Norfolk Rivers Trust worked with The Beaver Trust to bring a pair of beavers from Scotland into a purpose-built enclosure in Norfolk – the return of a species missing from our landscape for over 400 years. \nThis talk traces the history of beavers in Britain\, weighs up the challenges and benefits of reintroducing a native species into a modern landscape\, and looks at what these beavers have taught us about shaping rivers the way nature intended – slowing water down\, carving new channels\, and bringing life back to the banks. \nThis talk will be taking place in ‘The Crypt’ at St Andrews Hall as part of the Wild by Design event . Please arrive 15 minutes before the talk begins and speak to someone at the entrance. \nCentenary Supporter tickets \nFor this event we’ve included a Centenary Supporter ticket for anyone who’d like to give a bit extra to support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places\, while enjoying Wild by Design. \nStandard Tickets (Members / Non-Members) \nIf you’re able to pay and would like to support our work\, we’d really appreciate a contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone. \nYour ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering community tickets at this and future events. Ticket income helps support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places across the county as we celebrate our centenary year. \nCommunity Tickets \nWe want everyone to feel welcome at Wild by Design. \nWe have a limited number of community tickets available for anyone where cost would be a barrier to booking a ticket. No questions asked – just come and enjoy the day.

SUMMARY:Songs of the Wild: Sam Lee live in Norwich
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening of music and storytelling as part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s centenary celebrations\, featuring the extraordinary folk singer Sam Lee\, with support from East Anglian duo Christina Alden & Alex Patterson. \nA Mercury Prize–nominated singer\, song collector and passionate conservationist\, Sam Lee has carved out a unique place in the British music scene. His work breathes new life into traditional songs\, blending ancient melodies with contemporary sounds and powerful storytelling rooted in landscape\, culture and the natural world. \nSam first came to prominence with his acclaimed debut album Ground Of Its Own\, shortlisted for the Mercury Music Prize\, and has since continued to challenge and reimagine the boundaries of folk music through albums including The Fade In Time\, Old Wow and his most recent release songdreaming — named one of MOJO’s Top 10 Folk Albums of 2024 and winner of Best European Album at the 2024 Songlines Music Awards. \nBeyond the stage\, Sam is a widely respected voice for nature and culture. A co-founder of Music Declares Emergency and a champion of environmental causes\, his work often explores the deep connections between music\, wildlife and the landscapes we inhabit. His performances combine powerful singing with storytelling and moments of quiet reflection that invite audiences to listen differently — both to music and to the natural world. \nOpening the evening are Christina Alden & Alex Patterson\, multi-instrumentalists and songwriters from East Anglia whose music is rich with harmony\, delicate songwriting and exceptional musicianship. Inspired by the landscapes and wildlife around them\, their songs explore the relationship between people and the natural world. \nThe duo have toured extensively across the UK and Europe\, including appearances at major folk festivals and venues such as Celtic Connections and St David’s Hall\, and have supported the acclaimed folk group Show of Hands on their concert hall tour. Their work has also featured on BBC Radio 4\, and their recordings have been streamed over a million times. \nSet within the beautiful surroundings of St Andrew’s Hall\, this special concert promises an evening of spellbinding music celebrating the landscapes\, wildlife and traditions that have inspired generations — and marking 100 years of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work for nature. \nDoors open – 7:00pm\nSupport – 7:45 – 8:25pm\nInterval – 8:25 – 8:45pm\nSam Lee – Set 1 – 8:45 – 9:30pm\nInterval – 9:30 – 9:50pm\nSam Lee – Set 2 – 9:50 – 10:40pm\nFinish – 10:40pm \nTicket income helps support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places across the county as we celebrate our centenary year. For this event we have included a Centenary Supporter ticket for those who would like to support Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s work protecting wildlife and wild places while enjoying a special evening of music. \nFind out more about our centenary year by visiting norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk/Centenary.
