Please join us to celebrate the rich and varied landscapes of North Norfolk, the British Isles and our imaginations in a weekend festival of walks and talks, readings and discussions, an exhibition and field trips
from
2 – 4 October 2026
at Wells Maltings, Wells-next-the-sea
While we put together the programme for next year’s festival, please keep an eye out for new releases as we publish videos of last year’s talks on our YouTube channel.
In 2025:
• we welcomed Alan Hollinghurst and John Mullan, Richard Mabey and Patrick Barkham, Charles Clover and Mark Cocker, Julia Blackburn, Katrina Porteous and Patrick Galbraith, Matthew Hollis and Bernard O’Donoghue, Natasha Hastings and Iona Rangeley as well as artists Tor Falcon, Beatrice Forshall and Rosie Reeve. Jake Fiennes, Nick Trend, Charles Rangeley-Wilson, John Ebbage and Fraser Bradbury led guided walks across wild, rewilded and reimagined landscapes of Norfolk. And Nick Groom skippered a boat trip down the channel from Wells Harbour.
