☀️ Hello Norfolk! ☀️
Spring is in the air. I can feel it. It’s coming.
You know what else is coming? A list of amazing events. This week is packed. Music, skating, classes, films, and so much more.
Also, dont miss David Gilbert’s new piece about the Old Cut Lighthouse. That guy has taught me more about Norfolk than I ever learned in school!
Also, DINNER CLUB IS BACK! We had such a great turnout the first time - we decided to add three dates. Don’t miss the details below.
Don’t forget, you can always see the events EVERY DAY at https://www.norfolkinsider.ca/norfolk-events/
Let’s get to it

DINNER CLUB
Last time we ran Dinner Club, something special happened.
21 strangers sat down at three tables… and by the end of the night, they weren’t strangers anymore. The conversation flowed. Laughter filled the room. Phones stayed in pockets. It felt old-school in the best way — simple, human, real.
That’s why we’re doing it again.
Dinner Club is back for three new evenings — a chance to slow down, meet good people, and remember that community isn’t built online… it’s built face-to-face.
We’re genuinely excited to set these next tables.
If you’ve been meaning to “get out more,” this might be your moment.

Long Point has long been both a refuge and a threat — sheltering ships from Lake Erie’s fury while claiming hundreds to its shifting sands. When government plans stalled in the 1800s, Mother Nature carved a channel herself, forever changing the history of the Inner Bay. The story of Old Cut Lighthouse is one of storms, shipwrecks, restoration, and resilience — a true piece of Norfolk’s past still standing today. This week, David Gilbert tells the story HERE
