Synth Picnic is a free, popup event in Norwich where you can come and play with synthesizers. Since the recent demise of the PMT Music Shop chain there’s nowhere in East Anglia to try out synthesizers, nowhere you can just drop in and have a fiddle; Synth Picnic aims to remedy that.
Once a month we’re filling the Honesty Library in the Castle Quarter with all sorts of synths and modular for generating bleeps, bloops, beats, bangers and cinematic soundscapes. We’ll be on hand to offer advice on what could be the perfect synth for your journey into electronic music.
We’re not a shop, but our retail partner Signal Sounds can deliver a synth to your doorstep in a couple of days. If you’re fascinated by modular synthesis then we also offer the opportunity to rent Eurorack systems to investigate in the comfort of your own home.
The next Synth Picnic is popping up on Saturday 13th December in the Honesty Library at the top of the swirly staircase in the Castle Quarter. We’ll be open from around 10:30am and will close by 4pm. We then intend to popup again every month going forward.
