One Pound Tickets

Faced with the grim economic outlook at the time, the Festival worked with the local press in an initiative to make £1 tickets available, which was a big success.

A wide range of performers from Jake Thackery to Ronnie Scott came to Norwich, whilst literary events including a celebration of Puffin Books and a talk from Stephen Fry, brought a new literary dimension which would expand in the following years including lunchtime readings from 1992.

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.
