Norwich’s annual events always promise excitement, creativity and inclusivity- and many of them are free or low-cost, too. So, make sure to publicise what’s going on to your customers and guests because they all bring plenty of people into the city, visitors and locals alike, particularly during school holidays. That way, we can all make the most of the city’s thriving cultural calendar!
In December 2024, we teamed up with American travel vloggers The Magic Geekdom for a two-night stay as part of our awareness campaign. It was their first time visiting Norwich and our jam-packed itinerary took them everywhere from Jarrolds to Norwich Playhouse to Strangers’ Hall, The Assembly House and more: Why Norwich is England’s Most UNDERRATED Hidden Gem (And Why You Should Visit). Their down-to-earth, authentic video received 11k in just 24 hours and has since received positive coverage from outlets across the country, including The Express, The Daily Mirror, the EDP and Norwich Evening News. Consequently, The Magic Geekdom also featured Norwich in their list of ‘must visit places in England’ (41k views) at number 4!
You can find VisitEngland’s Domestic Sentiment Tracker for June here.
In this month’s Sentiment Tracker, cost-of-living perceptions have improved significantly compared to last month with the proportion of UK adults being cautious remaining at 46%.
76% are planning an overnight domestic trip in the next 12 months, with 66% very committed for July. The number of UK adults more likely to choose UK trips (35%) outweighs overseas travel (28%) because they’re easier to plan (56%). For day trips, adults continue to ‘look for more free things to do’.
Short breaks will dominate the next few months: the top destination for July – September 2025 and October – December 2025 is ‘a city or large town’ with ‘trying local food and drink’ the top activity for both time periods.
