Welcome to the Deepdale Podcast, our North Norfolk magazine programme … thanks for listening in. Its July 2025, the sun is shining, school holidays are fast approaching, and North Norfolk is looking resplendent but with a few signs of overheating.

I’m Jason, and this month we chat with four more lovely people from this beautiful part of the world. First up we have Mandy Humphreys, the RNLI sea safety person for the Wells area and a member of both crews of the Wells RNLI lifeboats. Then Georgia Shackleton, from The Shackleton Trio, chats about life as a musician, Jon Clifton a local photographer chats about how the local area inspires him, and Peter Allingham from Archangel Distillery chats about gin and lovely drinks.

Enjoy the listen. Please do subscribe, leave a positive review, and let your friends & family know about our little slice of North Norfolk life.

Enjoy the Summer.

Welcome to the June 2025 episode of the Deepdale Podcast, our magazine programme about North Norfolk. This month, Jason continues to meet fascinating members of the North Norfolk community. He chats with Nicky King, the coxswain of Wells-next-the-Sea RNLI, Iona Lane a musician inspired by the natural world who's playing a gig at Deepdale on 21st June, and Rosie Newport, a local artisan and passionate wild swimmer.

As June is such a lovely month on the North Norfolk Coast, hopefully you’ll take inspiration from Norfolk Wildlife Trust's 30 Days Wild and fit in some wildlife enjoyment. All three of the chats this month are with people who love the landscape, so naturally the conversation turns to enjoying the space, big skies and coastline that we have in abundance here. If you are looking for reasons to visit North Norfolk, then you’ll find a huge list of North Norfolk and West Norfolk events on our website, and we are constantly adding to the listings, you can also add yours.

Enjoy the listen. And if you do, please do subscribe (its free) and leave us a review on your favourite podcast app or directory. There is a huge back catalogue of episodes to listen to.

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.
