About the event

This spring, you’re invited to join Norfolk Wildlife Trust at Cinema City, Norwich for a very special evening to celebrate 100 years of protecting and restoring Norfolk’s nature. 

The evening begins with the premiere of ‘100 years of Trust, 100 years of hope’, a short film celebrating a century of making a difference for wildlife in Norfolk. Introduced by Norfolk Wildlife Trust CEO Eliot Lyne, this inspiring film reflects on the last century of conservation in Norfolk and the role we must all play in shaping the future for wildlife.

We’ll also screen the stunning feature-length documentary ‘North Sea, Nature Untamed’, which reveals the surprising wildlife and hidden beauty of the North Sea - a place many of us think we know, but few have seen beneath the waves.

After the film, stay for a live panel discussion with the ‘North Sea, Nature Untamed’ filmmakers and experts from Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Together we’ll explore the wildlife of the North Sea, the power of storytelling in conservation, and how science, evidence, and public action can help protect our seas.

Whether you’re passionate about wildlife, curious about the hidden life of the North Sea, or simply looking for an inspiring evening of film and conversation, we’d love you to join us.

Panel speakers include

• Peter van Rodijnen, award-winning Dutch underwater filmmaker and director of ‘North Sea, Nature Untamed’. Peter has spent decades filming marine wildlife around the world.
• Mark Verkerk, internationally recognised wildlife filmmaker and producer known for creating visually powerful nature documentaries that bring complex environmental stories to wide audiences.
• Helen Hebditch, marine conservation specialist and Director of Nature Recovery at Norfolk Wildlife Trust. Helen has over 20 years of experience in international conservation, including roles with the Marine Stewardship Council and WWF’s Global Oceans Programme.
• Helen Baczkowska, writer and ecologist at Norfolk Wildlife Trust. In her role at the Trust, Helen focuses on how research and evidence inform conservation.

This special event forms part of Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s centenary programme, celebrating a century of protecting Norfolk’s wildlife and inspiring people to take action for nature.
