1911

The Last Fundraiser For the Norfolk And Norwich University Hospital

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

With a donation plate at the door, 1911 became the last festival to be advertised as a fundraiser for the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital and other charities.

Thanks to their work with Henry Wood and Chorus Master Haydon Hare, the Festival Chorus were now one of the finest in the land and were asked to open the London Music Festival that same year.

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.
