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

Free Community Tickets
We want everyone to feel welcome at Sweetbriar Marshes.
If you live within around a mile 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 [email protected] 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.

Accessible nature reserves | Norfolk Wildlife Trust


Important Information – please read our event refund policy below:

Tickets are non-refundable unless the event or activity is cancelled by Norfolk Wildlife Trust.

In the event that Norfolk Wildlife Trust has to cancel an event or activity due to low numbers, extreme weather conditions or other circumstances beyond our control, we will inform you at the earliest opportunity and will offer a full refund. Please check our website Home | Norfolk Wildlife Trust for event updates.
