Norfolk & Norwich Festival 2020 has been cancelled
It is with regret that we have taken the very difficult but ultimately inevitable decision to cancel the 2020 Norfolk & Norwich Festival.
With the rapidly escalating health-crisis and with the safety of our audiences, staff and artists at heart, we have taken the decision that it is impossible for us to deliver the Festival this May.
If you have booked a ticket for the Festival, you do not need to do anything. You are entitled to a refund and we will be in touch soon. Please bear with us during this difficult time. If you have the capacity to make a donation of part or all of your ticket value, we would be extremely grateful – it would help ensure we’re well-placed to support artists and be able to present future Festivals.
Children’s literature is a diverse, exciting and popular genre. Join Mitch Johnson, the award-winning author of Kick, as he offers his expert advice on how to write bold, authentic stories for adventurous young readers aged 8 – 12 years.
‘Kick is a brilliant debut. Mitch Johnson writes of ambition, poverty and friendship with great skill and wit.’ – John Boyne, author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas

About Mitch Johnson
After graduating from the University of East Anglia with an award-winning first-class degree in English Literature with Creative Writing, Mitch completed Kick, his debut novel for middle-grade readers. He was inspired to write it while working in a sports shop where he discovered a discarded, crumpled drinks sachet left in a shoebox between a brand-new pair of football boots. Mitch now works as a bookseller at Waterstones, Norwich, and writes in his spare time.
