What’s On in Norwich
Norwich Film Festival – 3 to 16 November
Independent cinema takes centre stage this month as the Norwich Film Festival returns for two packed weeks of screenings, Q&As and special events. Expect everything from moving documentaries and laugh-out-loud comedies to edge-of-seat thrillers — all shown across the city’s best venues.
Top tip: book early for the themed sessions (sci-fi, horror, LGBTQ+, comedy); they tend to sell out fast.
Arts Fair East – 7 to 9 November, The Assembly House
One of the region’s most loved art fairs, Arts Fair East brings together established and emerging artists, galleries, and collectors under one elegant Georgian roof. Whether you’re a serious buyer or just browsing, it’s a feast for the eyes.
Top tip: Go early, grab a coffee at The Assembly House café, and take time to chat with the artists.
Flamenco & Global Sounds
-
18 Nov: Art of Andalucia – Flamenco Dance at St Peter Mancroft Church. An evening of passion, rhythm, and Spanish flair from Daniel Martinez Flamenco.
-
15 Nov: African Choir of Norfolk Gala at Norwich Playhouse — a colourful, high-energy celebration of African culture and community.
Festive Fun Begins
Winter Wonderland Norwich – from 14 November, Norfolk Showground
The Showground transforms once again into a sparkling winter village, complete with a huge ice rink, fairground rides, festive food stalls, and twinkling lights. It’s Norwich’s answer to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland — and a must-visit for families, couples, and anyone chasing that Christmassy feeling.
Top tip: Pre-book your skating slots — weekend sessions fill up quickly!
Get Active
Larking Gowen Norwich Half Marathon – Sunday 23 November
Whether you’re pounding the pavement or cheering from the sidelines, the Norwich Half Marathon brings the city alive with energy and camaraderie. The route winds through city streets and nearby villages, making it one of the region’s favourite running events.
