CPRE Norfolk Annual Lecture & AGM 2026
CPRE Norfolk’s AGM will be held on Tuesday 5th May at 7pm in the Weston Room, Norwich Cathedral.
We are delighted to invite all members and supporters to join us for a very special occasion as we celebrate 100 years of CPRE and welcome our new President, Sir Nicholas Bacon.
Celebrating 100 years of countryside campaigning, this AGM will not only reflect on the past year’s work but also mark a significant milestone in our charity’s history. It is an opportunity to come together, hear about our achievements, discuss the challenges ahead, and help shape the next chapter for CPRE Norfolk.
Annual lecture
Following the formal AGM proceedings, we are especially pleased to welcome our new President, Sir Nicholas Bacon, who will give a talk reflecting on the importance of protecting Norfolk’s unique landscapes and rural character as we move into our second century.

The evening promises to be both celebratory and thought-provoking – and a wonderful chance to meet fellow countryside supporters in the inspiring setting of Norwich Cathedral.
