A love of the water, a chilled sundowner and a good old natter is what brought Liz and Katie together and has helped shape what Go Paddle is all about. Their paths to getting here have been wildly different but getting to meet new folk and share the pretty awesome Norfolk Broads by paddle is now what they do best.
What to wear
• As a general rule we say to dress for the weather. Quick drying clothes are the best (and avoid cottons/jeans as they can be uncomfortable when wet) If its chilly we have a small selection of wetsuits for hire. If you have your own wetsuit/rash vests – then bring them. • For your feet we suggest old footwear (ideally flip flops) to wear on the riverside.
Alternative dates
*We are doing everything we can to bring you this event in June by following government COVID guidelines. However, due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic we may have to cancel this event at short notice if circumstances arise that are out of our control. Please also note that this event will be postponed should we have extremely bad weather conditions which will make this activity unsafe.

In partnership with the Royal Norfolk Agricultural Association, Norfolk County Council, Norfolk Wildlife Trust, and the Co-op, join us for the return of the Norfolk Landscapes Conference & Exhibition for 2025, an annual event exploring land use change, and how we can make nature and farming work together.
Land and coastal management in Britain is becoming ever more challenging and complex. Climate change is altering traditional weather patterns, creating unpredictable growing seasons, and increasing the likelihood of floods and droughts. BPS is being phased out and farmers must navigate a transition to make their businesses sustainable, utilising various public and private funding streams. With an increase in environmental scheme payment rates, farmers and land owners must weigh up food vs the environment. How does one make sense of this everchanging sector, ensure business resilience, and work together to ensure Norfolk’s land and coastal management thrives?
Held on the Royal Norfolk Showground on Wednesday 29th October, this event is a must-attend for land owners, farmers, nature enthusiasts, policy makers, the construction sector, planning departments, green finance organisations, and anyone interested in how we can improve land use in Norfolk, and across England.
The event will bring together farmers, researchers, policy makers, investors and industry leaders to name but a few, to discuss the importance of Norfolk’s natural capital and the future direction of land and coastal management. Experience a sprawling and diverse exhibition, engaging seminars, and thought-provoking talks. Discount tickets available for NFWAG and/or RNAA members.

We live in unprecidented times, things are no longer comparable to what they have been. One thing is steadfast though, and that is that things change. No matter what we do, the world will change around us. So at this fork in the road we have a choice, either we change too, or we get left behind.
This workshop is for those who want to make effective change and look at things differently.
