To avoid disappointment we recommend that you book the observatory venue at least 4 weeks in advance of your planned event.

The Borough Council of King’s Lynn & West Norfolk reserves the right to refuse any proposed or booked event on the premises at any time, without advance notice and for any reason whatsoever.

If any damage is caused to the Observatory roof, solar panels or interior elements, event organisers may be liable for full cost for repair or replacement.

There should be only one allocated member of the event organiser’s team to operate the venue’s rolling roof (using previously provided on-site and online rooftop operation instructions), and in a safe and secure manner.

Helium balloons, naked flames & smoke machines are not permitted in any area of the site. The use of glitter for any reason at all is strictly banned.

The BCKLWN bans the release of balloons and Sky Lanterns on the land it manages, including and especially the clifftop and nearby beach.

The nearest car parking to the site is the Clifftop Car Park (there are no specific concessions to the users of the Hunstanton Observatory and surrounding area):

All rubbish must be removed from site and the premises is to be left as you find it, with any interior light and screen to be turned off, and the door strictly and securely closed/locked.

If you are organising a public event, we will need a copy of your public liability insurance certificate and risk assessments at least 7 working days before the date of the booked event. If these documents are not supplied by that time, the BCKLWN will cancel the booking.

Strictly no alcohol to be consumed on the premises.
