Stargazing at NWT Sweet Briar Marshes! Spot the North Star, Jupiter, clusters and constellations while learning to navigate the sky.

Can you find the North Star? Join us on this introduction to the night sky to find out how. We will also find other interesting objects including Jupiter, double stars and star clusters and use constellations to navigate the night sky.

Do bring along your own binoculars and a red torch/rear bicycle light if you have them. You can also download free night sky navigation apps to your phone.

This activity is weather dependent. We will cancel the event the day before the event is due to take place if the weather looks rainy or overcast, so please make sure you check your email.

Everyone’s welcome at Sweet Briar Marshes

As part of our commitment to making nature accessible for all, and to ensure local communities benefit from Sweet Briar Marshes, we’ve introduced the following ticketing model:

Free Community Tickets

We want everyone to feel welcome at Sweet Briar Marshes.

If you live within around a mile (20 minutes walk) of the site - or if cost would make it difficult for you to join, please choose a free community ticket.

No questions asked - just come and enjoy the event.

We’ve noticed that a few free places sometimes go unused, and as a charity, that can really add up. If you can’t make it, please cancel your ticket at least 24 hours before the event so someone else can take your place. We often run a waiting list and would love to offer your spot to another local resident.

Standard Tickets (Members / Non-Members)

If you don’t live locally, or you’re able to pay and would like to support our work, we’d really appreciate a small contribution towards keeping these events accessible for everyone.

Your ticket helps us cover basic costs and continue offering free community places at future events.

Come and be part of your local wild space - everyone’s welcome.

Accessibility

We want our events, and nature itself, to be accessible to everyone. If you have specific needs or requirements, please get in touch at events@norfolkwildlifetrust.org.uk so we can support you wherever possible. Please be aware that the natural terrain and access conditions may limit what we are able to provide on site.

Access companions are welcome free of charge. If you or someone in your group requires personal support to attend - whether physical, communicative or emotional - please add an Access Companion when asked during the ticket booking process.
