1814

The Last Fundraising Dinner

A fundraising sermon with musical performances, to raise money for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.

The fundraising dinner held after each sermon was held for the last time in 1814, which resulted in a drop-off of funds for the hospital.

A further Grand Musical Festival took place this year, once again seeing famed musicians such as tenor John Braham and cellist Robert Lindley take to the stage.

The Festival celebrated the end of Napoleon’s reign on the continent, marking the ensuing peace and the restoration of the French royal family.

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.
