Re/Collect 250

Share you festival memories

MONDAY 17 MAY – SUNDAY 30 MAY

This is a past event which has now ended.

With 248 years’ worth of concerts, performances and projects, the memories of Festivalgoers paint a rich picture of Norfolk community, music, love, performance, and everything in between. Re/Collect 250 is a new student-led oral history project aiming to uncover and document some of these more recent theatrical tales, but we need your help to do so.

We’re looking for your stories. Maybe you attended an early Festival concert that kicked off your love for a composer, or maybe your child’s first live show was at the Garden Party. Do you have a cracking story about a night at the Adnams Spiegeltent, or are you an annual attendee at one of our legendary tea dances? If you’ve participated in a schools projects, contributed to one of our community pieces, or just have something to say about the Festival, we want to hear from you. Interviews can take place either at the special Recording Booth in our Chantry Place Box Office, or via Zoom.

Across May’s Festival, University of East Anglia students and award-winning Sound Designer Helen Atkinson will be conducting hundreds of virtual and in-person interviews with audience members to help paint this picture. To book your interview, follow the link below, fill out an availability form, then someone from the project will be in touch. There will even be a little treat for the first hundred interviewees!

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.
