Come and join us as we walk along beautiful nature trails and country lanes which pass through the Broadland villages with the surrounding countryside. See description below for COVID-19 related amendments and documents.

Join one of our Navigate Norfolk day trips for just £5. Take a break, stretch your legs and get outside in the fresh air to explore the beautful scenery Norfolk has to offer. 

We will travel together by coach from UEA campus and the journey should take around 60 minutes. Please be at the UEA mega bus stop 10 minutes before the listed start time so we can check you on the coach and go through all the COVID-19 related amendments to the sesions. We’ll be back on campus no later than 4pm.

We will drop people off in the town centre where you will have a chance to explore for an hour. We will then take the 25 minute walk up to beach and the famous beach huts. You will have chance to spend some time on the beach for an hour and then have a chance to get a cup of tea before we are picked up to return to UEA. Dress appropriately for the weather, including footwear and bring some money if you wish as we often stop at a shop/cafe for a spot of lunch or a hot drink (but you don't have to if you want to bring your own refreshments). If you have any questions please email [email protected] or call 01603 593567.

What is Do Something Different?

The Do Something Different Programme is about trying a new activity and sparking your interests! We aim to encourage greater student interaction from across schools, liberations and courses that build your knowledge and skills as individuals. Perhaps you've been looking to try a new sport, attending a live music performance, or dabbling in an academic subject that piques your interest? We collate a wide variety of different activities happening across campus - from sports and games, to trips and extracurricular lectures! 

There's always something happening every single day, and most events are absolutely free or cost very little! The best events will return during the Do Something Different Festival in Semester Two - a week-long celebration in which teaching is suspended for you to try a huge range of activities! Stay tuned for the full Festival programme coming soon! 

If you had a great time at a DSD event, make sure you head to the website and leave your feedback and stories! Tell us about your ideas and what you want to see under Do Something Different.
