Important information

Thursday 23 May

7pm & 8.30pm: The VV Experience
With members from East Anglian heavyweights Ebi Soda, Monster Florence, and Guranfoe, VV Experience plays hard beats woven with jazz harmonies and coaxed in psychedelic atmospheres.


 

Friday 24 May

6.30pm & 8.30pm: Flat Venus
Fresh to the music scene of Norwich, FLAT VENUS are a quintet inspired by the dream-pop and folk band scene of the 90s. With a wistful and foreboding approach to their harmony-heavy tunes and a slight Western tint, the group are self-described ‘queer space-cowboys’ who specialise in vulnerable lyrics and spaced-out, jangly guitar riffs.   

 

 

Saturday 25 May

With intimate storytelling, sweet harmonies and powerful instrumentation, Murmurations come together to share something bigger than the sum of their parts.

Sunday 26 May

1pm: Alis MacIntyre
Alis is a force to be reckoned with, who is beginning to make a name for themselves within the local music scene; from deep, emotional originals, to covers that get people up and dancing or singing, no matter what age, they are a absolute powerhouse of musicianship.

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.
