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.
Experience Norwich with fresh eyes and uncover the layers of stories embedded within its walls by taking a literary walking tour of the city, led by biographer and journalist Keiron Pim (Jumpin’ Jack Flash – a Guardian Book of the Year).
Includes a free copy of the Walking Norwich book.
‘[Keiron] is compassionate and humane at every moment. His prose is always careful and stylish.’ – Richard Davenport-Hines, Guardian
