Secondary navigation
It’s true, Norwich is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the full Festival experience. Not only is it a beautiful city, but it’s compact enough to mean that most Festival venues are easy to get to on foot – great for evenings when you want to see two or three shows.
Then there’s the relaxed, friendly atmosphere. Norwich has plenty of bustle and confidence, but without the hassle of some of our bigger brothers. When you’re not watching a show, the shopping’s great and the surrounding countryside, including the magical Norfolk Broads, is just stunning.
We reckon we've got something pretty special going on here in Norwich and we’d love you to join the party!
