Festival Ad Hocs

An eight day music festival, as part of a run of triennial events.

Alongside the standard festival concerts and exhibitions, a group of creative young people who called themselves the ‘Festival Ad Hocs’ helped stage some new and different events to introduce the Festival to a new generation. This included a separate jazz festival in Earlham Park, a ‘talking machine expo’ and folk singing. Amongst the more traditional classical music highlights was the first performance outside of France of the renowned Tortelier 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.
