The North Norfolk Music Festival was founded in 2005 by Kirker’s very own Barry Cheeseman and musician Simon Rowland-Jones. Back then it was a series of just three concerts but over the years it has developed into two weeks of music and up to twenty concerts.
This year, our clients will attend the second half of the Festival. The concerts are given at the peaceful 13th Century Church of Our Lady St Mary in the village of South Creake, just five miles from the famous north Norfolk coast. We stay at Briarfields Hotel (3*) in Titchwell from which there are a wonderful and expansive views out across the wild marshes to the sea. In addition to the concerts we include visits to the leading trio of Norfolk houses – Sandringham, Houghton and Holkham.
