Heather Newill's Final Festival

1995 was the final in a four year run of Festivals directed by Heather Newills in Norwich. A Greek theme was adopted.

A highlight of the year was to come from John Tavener, who wrote a new work Let’s Begin Again which was staged during the Festival.

The visual arts week became known as ‘Picture This’ and continued to grow, showcasing an increasing number of local artists.

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.
