We are very grateful to the wonderful Norwich Community Choir and St Helen’s Church (Cathedral of the Broads) at Ranworth for an amazing concert dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II on Saturday 24th September. All proceeds were kindly donated to Love the Broads. What truly magical songs, music and poetry were performed by the Choir and the audience loved every minute.
You can listen to several pieces by clicking on Love the Broads’ facebook – see link:
The Museum of the Broads is one of the Broads’ premier visitor attractions. The Museum was in need of a more vibrant and durable gazebo in order to expand the reach of the museum into local and regional events. A new branded gazebo would help to increase the Museum’s brand with the local community as well as visitors to the Broads National Park, which in turn will increase visits and memberships and ensure the museum’s financial viability.
Grant Applicant: Museum of the Broads
Funding received from Love the Broads: £700
Project completion date: October 2022

We are delighted to welcome Bure Valley Cycle Hire as a prime Love the Broads business partner.
Based in the picturesque Broads village of Coltishall and right next door to the famous Bure Valley narrow gauge steam railway, cyclists can explore the 9 mile stretch of the recently resurfaced railway path without having to cycle on any roads. Remember a bygone era with steam trains passing right beside you. You can even arrive in Coltishall by boat or train! There is a range of Specialized Hard Rock mountain bikes, with front suspension with tyres filled with “Goop”, which instantly repairs should a puncture occur.
A great time was had by all at the latest Love the Broads Member event held at Ranworth on Saturday 18th June. Members were taken by boat from Ranworth Staithe to the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Visitor Centre where Lee and the team of volunteers welcomed our group and gave a really interesting overview of the thatched building with an opportunity to view the stunning wildlife on the Broad. A gentle walk to St Helen’s tea room followed with delicious tea and cake and a fabulous guided tour of Ranworth Church. We are so grateful for the support of so many to make this an event to remember.

What is sustainable tourism?
Sustainable tourism is all about making the lowest possible impact on the environment and local culture while helping to generate income and employment. It is responsible tourism that is both ecologically and culturally sensitive. It is about caring for the places we love to visit and protecting them for future generations. There is no point in having a beautiful landscape if it is spoilt by insensitive tourism. Love the Broads seeks to promote the protection and understanding of our wetland area’s wildlife, landscape, heritage and tourism which are all interlinked.
