This summer, join in with our FREE family-friendly treasure hunt across Norwich to discover our literary history!
Taking place from 18 July to 31 August, we’re celebrating this National Year of Reading and Norwich’s rich literary legacy. Look out for storybooks in shop windows and crack the code to be in with a chance of winning exclusive prizes as you take part in the Norwich City of Stories Summer Trail!
And you can take part in special book-themed activities in venues citywide throughout the trail and the summer holidays.
Along the way, families may even uncover tales from Norwich’s incredible past, inviting them to soak it all in, stopping at local landmarks, welcoming shops or for a tempting treat at our many independent eateries. Look out for Norwich Summer Sessions every Sunday in August or unearth the stories of twenty of Norwich’s most important figures. In partnership with Norwich Cathedral.

The trail starts on 18th July and runs until 31st August.
