Deepdale goes GOLD

We're really proud to have been awarded a Gold Award under the Green Tourism Business Scheme. This not only reflects the work we've done at Deepdale to green up the business, but also the massive help you've given us when you stay.  Everything from recycling your rubbish to using your cars less.

We’re holding our first ever North Norfolk Coast Earth Day Event this year on 22nd April showcasing sustainable technology companies.  There are more environmental plans in the pipeline and we'll let you know as and when these happen.

2008 Events

There was a lot of interest in the events we ran in 2007, so we thought we'd give you plenty of notice about the events we are running in 2008.

Our events include Guided Walks along the Norfolk Coast Footpath, a Norfolk Local Produce Cookery Course, Wee Beasty Bug Hunt and a Green Up Your Business and Home Course.

Not only are we running events, but we've also teamed up with local businesses.

Sailcraft Sea School in the village, are running RYA land based courses, such as Yachtmaster and VHF Radio.  They also have a year round programme of sailing courses for both adults and children.  With our drying cupboard, laundry and underfloor heating we're the perfect place to stay for these courses.

West Norfolk Tai Chi Chuan are running an Introduction to Tai Chi in the village on 7th February.  We’ve listed a few of the event highlights, such as the Hunstanton Lifestyles Festival, World Snail Racing Championships and the Christmas Day Swim at Hunstanton.

After the success of Christmas and New Year 2007, and of course the standing ovation Phil got after cooking Christmas Dinner, we're already promoting Christmas and New Year 2008.

Dry 2008?
