Event: Netwalking and Wildlife

Ticket sales have now closed for this event – please call 01603 625977 or email [email protected] if you would like to come along!

Many of you have told us that you cannot wait to get back to meeting people face-to-face again and we have listened. We are working on a series of small, socially distanced in person networking events*, where you can get outside and start meeting new people in real life!

This is the first of (hopefully) many exclusive netwalking events we will be hosting over the summer. With your wellbeing a priority more than ever before, what better way to give it a boost than by spending time outside in the fresh air, networking with fellow business professionals at the beautiful Whitlingham Country Park (and getting those important steps in)!

This outside event will start at Whitlingham Café, where we will meet with Richard Powell, OBE and Environmental Advisor who will be our guide for the 3-mile walk. Richard has extensive knowledge of the wildlife at Whitlingham and will be on hand to answer any questions and highlight flora and fauna and points of interest during the walk!

Following government guidelines we will be split into two groups for the walking part of the event. 

Who is it for?

Business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, start-ups, young businesses and anyone who wants to connect and engage with other businesses in the Norfolk area.
