• tours at Curat House

• new pubs have signed up with a range of historical exhibitions
Michael Loveday, Chief Executive of Norwich HEART said: “This year’s programme is another great showcase of Norwich’s heritage. We’ve listened to feedback from previous years and have a series of evening events which will be especially popular with people who work during the day. We are also thrilled that Fat Face is opening up Curat House for some tours this year as there is always great interest in this building.”
