Let’s journey into nature
Pensthorpe is the place for wide eyes and well-worn wellies, for plodding, pondering and playtime. Here you can run wild, whisper in wonder and stop for more than a second. It’s where little adventures happen every day.

Our story
At Pensthorpe, we’re here to nurture nature today and bring it to life for tomorrow. Explore our history, meet our owners, understand our purpose, and learn about the Pensthorpe Conservation Trust and our vision for the future.
Pensthorpe Conservation Trust
Started in 2003, the Pensthorpe Conservation Trust plays a pivotal role in ensuring the park and its inhabitants will be around for generations to come. Working with partner organisations, it strives to be a centre of excellence for habitat management and restoration, and the conservation of bird species.
Raffle Prizes
Supporting the local community is really important to us so we regularly donate raffle prizes of complimentary admission tickets to schools, charities and individuals raising money for various causes throughout the year. However, please note we only have a limited number of tickets available to donate throughout the year and we only donate to causes within Norfolk.
If you would like to get in touch with us about your fundraising activity, please email us at info@pensthorpe.com
Venue Hire
Our Grade II listed Five Cottages building overlooks the picturesque lakes here at Pensthorpe. It’s got three flexible spaces, ideal for meetings, retreats, conferences and special occasions – we’re also an approved venue for marriage and civil partnership ceremonies.
Volunteering
Our volunteers and work experience students are an integral part of life at Pensthorpe. From individuals to organisations, they keep our nature reserve and gardens looking they’re best and support our visitors, while learning something new.
