We are delighted to confirm that we will be hosting the sell-out Hunny Bell Cross Country Run again in 2019 – one of the best events of its kind in Norfolk, attracting over 500 runners each year.
This undulating route will give you access to the normally private Stody Estate. If you haven’t tried a cross country before this is the perfect introduction and opportunity to swap the roads for something a bit more interesting. We have a limited number of FREE places for those wishing to raise funds for Break. There is a minimum sponsorship of £50 for these places. To apply for a charity place email [email protected]
There are four categories for runners with two race times: Juniors Races (Under 14s / Under 18s) 9:45am, 2.4 miles £7.50 entry fee.
Seniors / Veterans (over 50’s) 10:30am, 5 miles £15 entry fee.
N.B. runners must be aged 13 years and under on the date of the race for the U14s, or 17 years and under for the U18s race. Seniors are adults aged 18-49yrs, Veterans will be taken for those aged 50 years+ on the day.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Unfortunately due to the nature of the course dogs are NOT allowed to accompany runners.
‘Team’ runners will register as an individual and then choose the team category too – we will then take the best three recorded times on the day to score the teams. There is no limit to the amount of participants for this.
The Hunny Bell Trophy will be presented to the male and female with the best time.
There are also prizes for winners in every category and a medal for every runner.

As part of the Forum’s Norfolk Makers’ Festival, the Business & Intellectual Property Centre Norfolk have brought together a group of inspiring local business owners to share their stories and spill the beans on how they’ve created successful enterprises out of the crafts they love.
Our panellists use online platforms like Etsy as well as blogs and social media to build followings and strengthen their brands – making the most of their intellectual property. How did these makers set-up their businesses and what have they learnt along the way? What successes have they had and what did they wish they’d known when they first started?
This free evening talk will be compered by the Forum Trust’s Jayne Evans, the organiser of Norfolk Makers’ Festival and a keen crocheter and dressmaker herself. Guests in the audience are encouraged to ask questions.
We hope this event will inspire more makers to take the plunge, sharing the love of their craft – and their products – with a wider audience.

Hear from the founders of the food sector’s tastiest business success stories.
Join us at the Forum’s Auditorium for a live screening of this fantastic event taking place at the British Library in London. Hear from the names behind some of the UK’s most successful food and drink brands, including Praveen Vijn, co-founder of Eat Natural, Guy Singh-Watson, founder of Riverford, Pip Murray, founder of Pip & Nut and Nadia Stokes, founder of Gourmet Goat as they share stories on how they grew brands from their kitchen tables. Learn how they got their products onto the supermarket shelves, developed a memorable brand and built a place for themselves in the hearts, minds and stomachs of a nation.
The UK’s food and drinks sector is going from strength to strength. Developments in street food and markets, pop-up catering, hospitality and myriad innovative new product launches and trends all contribute to our growing reputation as a nation of foodies.
In 2017, consumer spending in the sector exceeded £219 billion with food and drinks exports worth more than £22 million to the economy. With almost 7,000 micro, small and medium businesses active in the sector last year, there’s certainly no shortage of new brands eager to take a bite out of the market.
If you’re a small business owner in the food sector with big ambitions to take a piece of a profitable pie, don’t miss this opportunity to quiz our panel of foodie experts.
Before this live screening you will have the opportunity to network with fellow foodies while enjoying refreshments. We will also be joined by Richard Bainbridge, chef patron of successful local restaurant, Benedicts. Richard will be sharing insights on how to successfully start and run a business in the food sector.
