Gig Buddies is a new Mencap befriending service for people with a learning disability between the ages of 18-30. They provide a volunteer friend to support people to access Norwich’s nightlife and the arts. If you love the events and activities at Norfolk & Norwich Festival and want to see more theatre or performances in Norwich throughout the year, apply for a Gig Buddy!

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for 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.
