In the National Year of Reading 2026, we’re inviting you to ‘Go All In’ — to follow your curiosity and explore any interest through reading, in any format. Books, audiobooks, magazines or online reading all count. If you haven’t joined Page Against the Machine before, this is the perfect time to get involved!

Can’t make it to Norwich Cathedral? You’re still very welcome to take part from wherever you feel most comfortable. Share your reading moment and tag us using #pageagainstthemachine.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
