Andy Brazil, the County Butterfly Recorder, will lead guided walks at 10.30am –12.30pm and 1.30pm – 3.30pm. Our experts will share their best butterflying tips and infectious love for these insects, plus take a 45 minute trip on board our boat 'Swallowtail' exploring the intimate backwaters of Hickling Broad. Journeys start on the hour at 11am until 3pm.
There will be free entry to the reserve on the day. Additional costs are as follows:
Walks: £4 NWT members, £6.50 non-members
