1822

Another Grand Musical Festival

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

The annual sermon was coming in for an increasing amount of criticism over its length and, as such, the musical portion before the sermon itself was dropped, despite being one of the most popular aspects of the whole event.

Another Grand Musical Festival was held in 1822, this time entirely based at the Theatre Royal, although the set-up was not as impressive as when it had been tried in 1809, and the venture lost money.

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.
