Arts & Culture | Norfolk & Norwich Festival

Festival Bridge wants all children and young people to have the opportunity to experience and be inspired by high quality arts and culture through the Cultural Education Challenge. We are looking to join forces with NPOs and other arts and cultural organisations across the region to ensure the aims of the Cultural Education Challenge are achieved through our Local Cultural Education Partnerships, Artsmark and Arts Award.
