Festival For A Fine City by Rob Mitchell

To mark the celebration of Norfolk & Norwich Festival’s 250th year in 2022, researcher Rob Mitchell uncovers the Festival’s rich history in his book Festival for a Fine City.

Beginning with its origins in 1772 as a cathedral service to fundraise for the new Norfolk and Norwich Hospital, before quickly blossoming into an internationally renowned triennial music festival, Mitchell traces the story of Norfolk & Norwich Festival’s development towards the exciting mixed music and arts celebration that it is today.

A perfect treat for those that want to delve deep into the history of our Fine City, have a love for music and the arts, or want to learn more about one of the UK’s biggest music and arts festivals.

Rob Mitchell is an independent local historian and researcher specialising in music and the arts. Rob lives and works in Norwich and has nearly twenty years of experience working in libraries and local archives. He has a passion for all music, but especially classical and jazz, and can occasionally be found playing piano for a swing trio in local pubs! He is a strong advocate of making music accessible to everyone. Festival for a Fine City is his first book.

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.
