Events Norwich
& the countryside

2013 is another exceptional year to enjoy superb, creative and exciting events in Norwich and the countryside. In Norwich make the most our historic medieval heritage. Most of the attractions put on extra activities for children during school holidays some free with the cost of entry.

There is a huge programme of events throughout the year such as Magic World at Norwich Castle (until 14 Apr), Plantation Garden Sunday Teas (28 Apr – 29 Sep), the stunning Norfolk & Norwich Festival (10 – 26 May), Museums at Night, Houghton Revisited (19 May – 29 Sep), Norfolk Open Studios (27 May – 11 Jun), Britten Centenary celebrations, 50th Anniversary of the University of East Anglia and Masterpieces: Art & East Anglia (14 Sep – 24 Feb).

The Broads offer a magnificent opportunity to enjoy the outdoors whether on or off the water. Located only a few miles from Norwich the Broads make a wonderful accompaniment to a stay in Norwich whether as an extended break or a day out. From Easter the Broads burst into overdrive with a host of great special events and days out for all ages.

We have hundreds of events with new ones added every day SEARCH ALL EVENTS or see below highlights across the year.
