What do you get when you put five artists, a bird watcher, a musician and a farmer in the same room … an episode of the Deepdale Podcast of course. It’s May 2025, and this is the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about beautiful North Norfolk.

In this episode Jason chats with Tobias ben Jacob about his upcoming gig at Deepdale on 17th May. Five artists taking part in North Norfolk Open Studios tell us more about this amazing local arts event from 24th May to 8th June. Oli from One Stop Nature Shop gives us a wildlife update. And Jason's sister Anna updates us about Open Farm Sunday on 1st June at Deepdale Farm.

Don’t forget that we list a huge range of events on our website. We are constantly adding to the listings, and there is everything from cookery courses to street food, exhibitions to theatre, motoring pageants to wildlife events. And May is a fabulous time of the year to enjoy North Norfolk. Our beaches are stunning in the sunshine and relatively quiet (except for the bank holidays). The wildlife is loving the longer days. And you can’t beat a cold drink in a pub garden under blue skies.

Enjoy the listen, and we hope to see you on the North Norfolk Coast for some or all of the events we cover. If you enjoy the listen, then please do subscribe and leave us a review on your favourite podcast app or directory. And there is a huge back catalogue of episodes to listen to.
