In 2017, the Whalebone raised £2,300 for SERV Norfolk (Norfolk Blood Bikes) with events including beer festivals, quiz nights, golf days, wine tastings and comedy nights.
It is hoped a similar amount can be raised this year.
Owner Mike Lorenz said: 'We are proud that so many of our customers have supported the events to help raise an amazing sum of money and it must be remembered in doing so they not only have enjoyed themselves but have given valuable funds to a very worthy charity.'
