Ancient House is partnering with Norfolk County Council to host a special workshop for young people aged 13-24, exploring local wildlife and natural spaces.

Four young people stand beside the river outside the Coffee Mill in Thetford, looking at a map or activity sheet together. One person points to the page while the others gather around, appearing to discuss their route or the next clue. The historic timber-gabled museum, stone bridge and riverside provide the backdrop on a bright summer's day.

The session will focus on practical ways people can support nature and wildlife in their communities, and how to make it easier for everyone to get involved.

No prior knowledge or experience is required, whether participants can identify every bird species or simply enjoy watching nature from their window, their views and ideas are welcome. To book a place, interested participants should email: naturalnorfolk@norfolk.gov.uk. Free refreshments will be provided.

On Saturday 18th July, the THC Youth Group will be taking over the museum with a specially designed Puzzle Day. Think Taskmaster, mixed with orienteering, mixed with an escape room and covered with a sprinkling of surprising historical facts. Suitable for all ages to play together, no booking is required, and it is included with museum admission.

On Sunday 19th July, Ancient House will open its doors free of charge as part of the Festival of Thetford and Punjab. Visitors can also take part in the free Stitch Your Story textile workshops taking place on 2nd and 9th July.

With a packed programme of summer activities, museum trails and workshops, there’s something for everyone this summer. Please click here for full details. If you receive means-tested benefits you get free admission to Ancient House.
