Due to predicted high winds being expected today, we will be closing the park at 4pm. Our 4pm bird feed & warden talk will therefore not be running today. The safety of our visitors is of paramount importance so thank you for your understanding.
Outside Hootz House we’ve installed some temporary sculptures to explore texture and inject a little bit of colour at this time of year. It’s a nice way to round off a year which has seen our gardens punctuated with a number of permanent and visiting sculptures. You can explore the permanent sculptures located around the reserve by following our handy guide, available from the admissions desk. Find out more information about our sculptures via our website.

On Friday I visited Pensthorpe and fell for wild fowl. It was wonderful to see the graceful Avocet so closely and I shall return, in warmer days, to draw.@Pensthorpe #avocet #waterbirds #Norfolk

We are delighted to be included as the number 1 highlight in the “Nine Wildlife highlights from Norfolk in 2019” feature on page 2 of today’s Eastern Daily Press. It highlights the news of our baby flamingo chick hatching late in the season last year. Thank you to Abigail Nicholson for including us in this feature as we are listed alongside some very news-worthy stories – great for putting Norfolk on the map!

#flamingoloveBeat those post-Christmas blues by looking ahead and starting afresh in 2020, with a brand new job. We’re looking for an HR Coordinator and an Assistant Chef to join our team, working in one of the most picturesque and inspiring wildlife havens in north Norfolk. Take some time before the New Year to update your CV and send it in to us and, if the role is not your cup of tea, please spread the word and pass it on to someone who you know is skilled in one of these two professions.

#pensthorpenaturalparkThis is Kat, one of our aviculturists, who will be spending Christmas day feeding the birds and having cuddles with our flamingo chick. Isn’t it growing so fast! We’re unsure yet as to whether it is male or female but it’s been doing well and now showing signs of feather growth, so we’ll be able to tell pretty soon. Happy Christmas to all of our followers. Don’t forget to leave some food out for the wildlife and birds in your garden. .
We are now closed and will reopen on Friday 27th December.

Today we held a celebratory Christmas lunch for all of our volunteers at Pensthorpe. We have over 10 volunteers helping out with our reserve, gardens and aviculture projects, all of which play a key role in the successes here at Pensthorpe. We would like to thank them for all of their hard work over the last year. .

#northnorfolkWe really are spoilt for choice with the amount of delicious food and drink we have produced here in Norfolk, which is why we try to support our local suppliers wherever possible. One of our main suppliers is local business @wildknightdistillery , a distillery producing high quality and authentic spirits. Some may say one is spoilt for choice, therefore they are exclusively visiting us on Saturday 14th December 11.30am - 3pm to taster an array of their products.
