The Guild of Wayfinders: A Tour of Norwich Guildhall
Thursday 20 October, 2pm & Thursday 10 November 2pm & 6pm
Take a tour through the history of the Guildhall. Your guides for this journey will be the newly formed ‘The Guild of Wayfinders’, part history, part performance, part story. They will walk you through the unique spaces of this medieval building.
The Guild of Wayfinders will take you around the Norwich Guildhall, weaving together facts, fictions and interpretations of the 14 century building and the 250 years of Norfolk & Norwich Festival. The Guild will take you through different spaces and times to discover the hidden treasures and quirks of one of Norwich’s most historic buildings.
The Guild of Wayfinders are a collection of Festival volunteers who came together to develop a tour of the building. Their tour, Every Step is a Different Height, was part of the 2022 Festival.
