1872

A Special License For The Maids Head

A five day music festival, as part of a run of triennial events.

The Maid’s Head hotel obtained a special licence to stay open until 1am to serve alcohol for guests who had attended the Festival.

A rare premiere of a piece composed by a woman composer took place at the 1872 Festival – Alice Mary Smith’s Clarinet Concerto – with Henry Lazarus taking the solo part.

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.
